Last week I got my car back from the dealership and had them do an oil change. This week I decided to check the engine oil the car was cold and had been sitting overnight when I checked the oil it read as overfilled. After a bit of driving, I checked it again and said it was ok (it was reading max). The next morning I decided to take the car to the dealer and have them take a look. The technician actually ended up adding a quart of oil!. He said my car has a heavyweight oil and the system uses a lot of oil to pressurize. The reading reads full (ok) when the engine is freshly run and warm. However, when sat overnight it reads overfilled still.
Should I be concerned?
