heavyD^2 Neither did I. Drove it home like a grandma lol. Luckily the car isn't a daily as I walk to work, but still waiting on a call with those "real answers"...

CTSean M2C89 chris719 This was my thinking too. Didn't have any more time to waste at the dealer (~3 hours even though I had an appointment), and wasn't convinced they'd actually change it yesterday. At this point I do want the records corrected but will probably end up still changing it to be sure. Cheap insurance but a shame cause I know it had new and correct oil before the winter.
