Very liquid looking oil



  Clio 172 2002
Hi,
I had an oil change done at a Renault shop about 1200 miles ago and I just checked the oil and it looks very liquid, also looks like its above the max level. It drips like water from the dip stick. What do you guys think?
Didn't drive it in 2 days and it's in a garage so about 53°F

Doesn't appear cloudy or contaminated at all? A touch above the max level isn't an issue.

Did they note down what grade oil they used?

Kind of a noob about oil I have no idea what I'm talking about. Just chocked me to see it so liquid and bright.

They used 0w40

This is why you don't take old cars to a main dealer, they've not seen one in years and don't have a clue what to do.

On a worn engine some people do swap to good old 10w40 or even 10w50 for that kinda reason
