So I had my post break in oil change at the dealership using their fancy oil. I asked the guy to let me watch and he agreed. First, underneath the car is really cool.

Second, he only received 5 quarts of oil from the service dept. He put 5 in. I told him the manual says 5 and 1/8. He laughed and agreed to put the extra 1/8 in. Why would they not put 1/8 in? Does that 1/8 matter?

Third, he didnt know anything about a copper crush washer and it was not installed. Does this matter and should I be concerned.

Me = noob

PS, I was surprised how small the filter was.

Switching to redline at 5k or so.
