Rain and freezing temps as the climactic norm the last few weeks, I meandered into a new local mom and pop shop for my oil change in lieu of my typical DIY OCIs. With 54 qts of semi-syn Nextgen from my AZ score in the truck bed and Motorcraft filter in hand, I left the drain and fill to the "experts". 10 minutes and $15 later I'm out.
I check the dipstick next day and she's 2 qts overfilled. I check two more times throughout the day with same result.
I return to the "oil change experts", display the dipstick reading to the manager, and he pumps out 2qts of crude. We check the dipstick again, and the reading is on level.
The next day I check oil level again, and the dipstick is bone dry. I'd driven for 30 minutes prior to taking this reading, and with no abnormal oil pressure readings or other issues and check for leaks. Added two quarts, and 24hrs she's finally staying level.
Riddle me this.
