Dealer overflows engine oil by like one quart.......... - Toyota Yaris Forums

UTVitz · 12-29-2008, 05:32 PM

I have yet to find a dealer that isn't sloppy about their oil changes. Two Jeeps I have that get dealer oil changes are always overfilled. I have to take them home and loosen the drain plug and bleed off the extra till it's back to the full mark. Last time they dumped oil all over the motor and it ran down the back side-very smelly for a week no matter how much I tried to clean it off. This car has never seen a dealer yet-I do my own oil changes since it's simple and there are no grease fittings to worry about. If you don't have the place or means to bleed it off yourself-try taking it back to the place that did it. As already stated here, it is not good for the engine/seals. Good luck.
