Most dealership or should I say stealerships don't know what the heck they are doing either. One put 6qts in my 1.6DIG-T when it requires only 4.8qts. The dealerships are only there to make money and most are not very knowledgeable on the brands they are selling.

Question: Do you trust the Owners Manual that came from the Manufacturer, or what some service rep or mechanic that don't give a crap about your car says?

Weelllllllll there's always exceptions. That friend who owns the dealerships, also owns a modified TT and had a 370z for a few years as well. Some of them still care. Not everyone puts in only Ester, and the Zs drive on. It'll all be OK.
