I recently had my oil changed at Grease Monkey... I usually always do the oil changes myself but wanted the additional services they supposedly do.
Anyway, I check the oil now and it's beyond the word "FULL" on the dipstick. I have read that these factory dipsticks are incorrect, and it is supposed to be filled beyond the factory cross marks on the dipstick.
But mine is filled beyond the word FULL. Isn't this too much?
I figured I would try to slowly remove the drain plug and let out a bit of oil, but upon trying to do that, I found the drain plug is torqued down to over 30 ft-lbs!! I cannot get it lose without the fear of breaking something. I'm pretty pissed and this further shows why I like to do my own work on the car...
Should I worry about the oil level being too high? I kind of want to go back to grease monkey and have them remove the bolt since they are the idiots, but I really don't even want them touching my car...
