2.5Qt's. Two of the quarts are directly the result of short fills at the dealership. Am I the only one who has had this problem? No big deal as the dealer has always given me free 5w-40 to carry in the car.

Default If you are the only RS4 at that dealer maybe a friendly word to the service rep?

Or ask to talk to the tech who works on it. It really does sound like you've got a good group there if they are giving you "free" oil with the oil change.

Default May sound silly, but I hope they know to...

check oil level and add to proper level after starting the engine and running for a few minutes, post oil change. Seems like a no-brainer, but you never know...either that or they're making sure not to overfill.

I would hope they know better than that but maybe not.

Default It could be a time constraint thing, where they're rushed, so they're not rechecking oil level...

after running the engine. I don't care what dealer, it's a crap shoot. I avoid them like the plague, and always have. We've heard enough horror stories here.

Default Wow, what a drive it must be on Cherohala Skyway.

That's a great picture too.
