Get car back from shop...oil is clearly overfilled by a good 1.5-2.0 quarts. Drain a solid two quarts, run engine, let sit overnight on level surface (it's synthetic), measure the next morning and it's 0.8 up dipstick. PERFECT.

Take car back for various other concerns (missing bolts, leaking coolant, etc.), mention the oil level issue, and they claim oil level is low, near minimum mark.

DUH! Of course it is when you measure it shortly after shutting engine off. So I have explain about synthetic oil adhering to parts, needing to wait overnight to get an accurate reading, etc....

He works on MB's ALL....THE.....TIME. How does he not know this??

Thus ends this evening's rant.
