Got my 5k service done last week. Is this the right amount of oil? Just wanted to get reassurance thanks!

 

That looks correct unless they charge by the tenths......9.1 qt to be exact.

 

Yup most dealers will bill you the full quart even if only partially used. I've only ever been to one dealership that actually billed to the tenth.

 

if its the first "free" doesnt matter what quantity they charged....my 1st oil change coming up soon...after that IM on my own.

 

Could be why dealerships tend to overfill; not allowing enough time for oil to drain, then adding more than what was drained. Depending on how busy they are, my guess is techs do a 5 min drain time, leaving quite a bit of leftover oil (more so if car has been sitting and oil temp is cold).

 

9.1 rounded to 10 but it’s unknown bulk oil. I’m sure it meets API standards but it’s the least expensive Dino oil they can purchase. Shouldn’t be an issue but change it on time. Did you pull your dipstick and verify it’s close. They keep overfilling mine.

 

on my other cars I drain in late afternoon, let go all night and then refill earlyAM.....why yes I am retired and have time to do all of this.:}

 

come on Mortimer, it’s a couple extra dollars from 9.1 to 10qts.. 🤣

 

They charged me 10.
$155 for oil and filter change with the 1000 mile check up.
