May be I am over reacting, but I asked if I can take a picture of the fuel filter housing and also see the oil they are putting in my car - and the tech got pissed off. He told me he is not changing the fuel filter and I told him he is. He then looked at me and asked why i wanted to take a picture as the fuel on this side of the filter is clean - I told him it gets recirculated on diesel cars and if there are any metal flakes, I wanna see it.
Then he lifted the car up and saw my dieselgeek skid plate (I told the service manager before it went in) and said he can't take it off as he doesn't have the tools. I told him to put the car down and I will be on my way. Then he "found" a 30mm socket in his upper drawer and took that off and I went back to the waiting room.
After a while, I asked if I can get the old fuel filter and I was told it was thrown away.
After about 2 hours, the car comes out. Engine oil is overfilled by atleast .5 quarts, maybe more. I really didn't feel like going back and arguing with that same technician to take the skidplate off and drain some of the oil out of there. So I just left.
I am going on a long trip on Friday and don't know how to take that extra oil out. I don't have a pella or anything to take it out and don't really feel going back to that dealership. Would it be OK to keep driving with the overfill?
At 10k service, it was about .5 quart short (which wasn't too bad) but now it is about .5 over. What does it take to get the right amount of oil in your car other than doing it yourself?? Is that really that hard to do for the dealer techs??
