It sucks, but the only way to ensure it’s done right is to do it yourself.

It shouldn’t be that way, it’s not that hard, but it is what it is.

It seems the “who cares?” attitude is getting worse.

I paid to have an over the range microwave and range installed. They didn’t put in the brackets below the microwave, had to do that myself. They didn’t level the oven, just slid it in there and left. I had to pull it out and adjust the feet and level the oven myself.

People don’t give a shit anymore.

You want 4.5 quarts of quality 0W16, no interior oil/dirt smudges, no overtightened filter or drain plug every single oil change?

Gotta DIY.

You are absolutely right!!! I have always done my own maintenance on previous vehicles. This experience just reminded me why I have always done so. I'm getting older, but I can still do it in a couple hours. I spent far more time than that hassling with the dealer. At least I didn't have to pay for it. I only have 12k miles on my 2022 Hybrid Limited but I have already received both 10k oil changes. I have a hard time accepting 10k between oil changes, but I have to admit the oil looked really good before I had it changed, so I could be wrong. But, what's the downside of doing it a bit more often?

You're the 2nd person this week to claim overfilling by about 1/2".

On the hybrid it's rumored to be more critical. The other thread called the dealership where service was done and they were not interested in draining. His local dealership fixed it in 2 days or so after the request.

If you go back in 10,000 miles, have them write on the invoice to add only 4.5 quarts (the book says 4.8). It's rumored that a shop adds 5 quarts. Short of reading a dipstick, so far nobody knows for fact the shops are using 5 quarts.

I should have mentioned that I have a 2022 Hybrid Limited. They will never touch my car again unless it is for warrantee repair.

I just found these in my owners manual. Now am mad!
