One thing i also noticed, isuzu service, instead of putting first the prescribed amount of oil, ex 5 liters. they put first 1 gallon, then add paunti unti. While the engine is hot and one time i-start pa nila "para ikot langis". How dumb. talagang sukat nila kulang sa dipstick kasi wala pa sa oil pan, nasa engine. Tapos mag add pa sila. Mag sobra talaga oil after settling overnight. Dumb.

And its the dealer doing the wrong practice, not the DIY owner.

I Agree with this.

I once had an argument with the SA, I was insisting they put only 5 liters of engine oil since the manual clearly states only 5.2 liters. I willl be the one to add the 200ml. They said its 6 liters. I was ok with 5.5 liters but their practice or training makes them put 6 liters. Or else they said.

Can you post his name here? What the heck? Do they know the consequenses of overfilling the engine? Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! or worst sinasadya. And he calls himself a SA? He should be fired.

I think thats not allowed. All i can give is the advise that we owners should also be vigilant on what the casa service is doing. Being the authorized service does not mean they are the best service always.

For any one interested, Its the consumer reports april 2005 edition, page 25. thats where i read US federal laws protects consumer's right to DIY oil change without affecting warranty.
