My communte from work is 25 miles, mostly at highway speed, so it got a pretty good workout. The oil looked a little thinner than normal coming out. The dipstick was fully seated so that would suggest the sump itself wasn't pressurized.

I've handled the oil myself for quite a while, so I can't blame it on anyone else's stupidity. Last week I check the oil (added a quart) and replaced the air filter.
