Mistake from the local garage!

[Eirik]

I had a oilchange at a garage yesterday. I drove 20 miles before I noticed they had filled 1,5 liters too much. (6.2 liters totaly) Do you think this may have caused any damage? I haven't noticed anything wrong yet.

I do you know they filled with 6.2 litres? yeah you can blow all seals basically.

I had a scenic in once for an oil leak, was coming out of every seal/gasket. That had been filled with over 8 litres of oil, should have had just under 5 litres in. Destroyed the turbo, piping, intercooler.

It read it on the reciept. It should be 4.75 liters shouldn't it? I by the way noticed a little leak from the seal between the engineblock and the bellypan. Could this be caused by to much oil in the engine?

Sounds like so mate.

Id stop driving the car and get it to the garage.

Or even drain the oil out yourself.

Sam!

Tbh I wouldn't read too much into what the invoice states. Have you checked the level on the dip stick?

First thing check the dipstick - if it is a good 1-2cm iver max then dont drive it and call the garage and explain - dont get shitty as that gets you nowhere

 

[montana]

are you sure they didn't give you extra for top ups and its sitting in the boot?

check the level ASAP!

He works at a golf club and drives a race car iirc...

I first checked the dipstick as a routine. The level was about 2 cm over the maximum mark. I've then checked the reciept and the intruction manual. I drained about 1,3 liters before getting under the maximum. I drove about 20 miles (no high revs) before discovering it. Now I'm worried there can more damage to the engine, but I should probably have noticed this by now?

Sorry to spam,but ,fark off you baldy Brizzle twot.

On another note take it back to garage and just let them know that they have made a mistake.

I talked to the manager on friday and he said it was no need to worry. But I wasn't sure if I could trust this.
Thanks for the advice!
