If that new car seizes the motor due to lack of oil who do you think is going to pay for that new motor?By not checking the oil you just gave the dealership a loophole large enough to drive the car through.

It's not fair (and I've never checked the oil level on any of our cars when driving off the lot before), but I can see your point. Even if you could say the dealer is responsible for the oil level upon delivery, how could you prove they didn't put the proper level in if you didn't check it upon delivery? The little guy always gets screwed and I see no exception to the rule here.

So these dealerships expect everyone that buys a car from them to know how to check the oil?

...or how to read the owner's manual?
