I usually DIY oil changes in my cars. My Pilot has been out-of-town with another family member recently. I was visiting said family member when the MM came on saying the car needed an oil change . In this car, I ignore the MM and follow 6 mth/5K mile intervals. I've been busy with other stuff and totally forgot to do an OCI before letting him use the car. Long story short, family member said no worries, he'll just go to the local Honda dealer. Checked the dipstick the day after and it read well above the high mark (probably like a half quart). Half quart over shouldn't do any damage but it's still upsetting to see this. Don't shops use those oil dispensers with a digital gauge on them showing how much oil is coming out? Is reading numbers that difficult?
Just wanted to share this and add it to the other 10,000 threads about dealer oil changes.
