19’ GT first oil change question.

[icodyonline]

I just took my car in for its first oil change. I know my car takes 10 quarts of oil but the paperwork says they put in 16 pints which equals 8 quarts. When I mentioned this to the tech he said they just got new equipment in the shop and it does not communicate properly with the computer system yet, but he said the trigger on the oil lines showed 9.75 quarts were put in, (which still isn’t 10qts) My oil oil pressure gauge shows normal. Should I be concerned?

check the oil with the dipstick. if its low put some in, if its fine leave it alone.

A new oil change will never add the exact amount of oil because you're not going to get all of the old oil out of the car. 9.75 qts is just fine, as long as the dipstick shows the proper amount. Go check the dipstick if it's bugging you.

Always double check it yourself, even the best shops make mistakes.

There is this handy thing under the hood usually is colored in yellow. You pull it out and look at the bottom. Due to fluid surface tension, it will some how display the fluid level on this piece of metal that has markings on them to tell you if the level is okay or not.
Or simply put, pull the dipstick and look for yourself.
