Too much oil after service.



At my 24.000 km service they filled up with 6,5 litre oil. It should be 5,84 litre.
I refused to pay for the extra.
But it isn`t good for the engine with this "overload".
My question: How much is it between the minimum and maximum on the dip stick? and have you an idea of how much I have to suck op from the top arrow down to the maximum arrow? LR Freelander2 2,2 Td4 HSE manuel Stornaway Grey (Metallic) & Ebony Black Leather & Sun/Moon-roof & Bi-Xenon & Roof Rails & Tow bar & Body side rubbing strips & Cold climate pack & Privacy glass & NavTeq .

Sorry, but I have changed to Defender 90 ", and I love my" tractor ".

bjartin, There is 1 litre of oil needed between min and max. I would recommend going back and asking them to fill it to the correct level.

This also happened to me some years ago when I had an oil service on my BMW. The bar Censored s even had the audacity to want my cash for the extra unneeded oil Shocked - and it stated quite clearly in the BMW owners handbook "do not over fill the oil"
Best you take it back and ask them to remove the overfill - at least on principle Thumbs Up 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Tried to suck up oil through the oilfilling hole, but reached no oil. Instead I got foam Question on the tube.

Through the dip stick pipe with a thin tube, I sucked up 600 mm (already very black) oil .

Hi bjartin

You don't need me to tell you that looks bad. The foam looks like water is mixing with the oil (but it could just be the photo), if it is then it should be looked at immediately, it may have been caused by the overfilling, either way it need to go back to the dealer that did the service.

The blackness of the oil happens very quickly with a diesel, within a few hundred miles, so only you can tell if this is to soon after the service, also factor that the oil is never completely emptied after a change, there is always a small residue.


Chris.

I second what Chris says. Get it straight back to the dealer and show him what you have found. Even if it's nothing, it is not your job to get the get the surplus oil out.
