    Hello,

    Got the car back from oil change at the dealer, did a 70km spirited drive, did a correct oil measurement and noticed it's ~1cm above MAX on the dipstick. Next day an oil puddle on floor appeared below the air filters.

    The car was then transported back to the dealer. Oil in the intake due to overfill. Oil went past the throttle body. Technician suctioned all they could out of the intake but did leave some oil in there, and after my request changed the oil filters.

    According to the technician, oil collects collects in the intake anyway and there is no need to do a wash.

    Would you say it's safe to continue using the car as normal? Or should I bring it elsewhere for proper diagnostics and intake wash?

    (disclaimer: I am having trust issues as this is second time the techician overfills this 812, previously I suctioned off the excess in time)

    If this were my car, I would not let it leave the dealership’s shop without a full borescope of every cylinder followed by a compression test. You dont know how much oil went back in. These are extremely high compression engines with low tension piston rings. Its not your dodge ram hemi engine that can tolerate stuff like this.

    Next, dont ever take your car to that dealership because clearly they dont employ competent people.
