Overfilling creates aeration which reduces lubrication.
as well as cause blow by/excessive crank case pressure but who knows if a quart is enough...be interesting to know what the limit was.
This is not surprising at all. The quality of even semi skilled workers in the U.S. has totally gone down the toilet in the past 5 yrs. Especially since the great P*andemic.
Bruh... we are SEVEN YEARS into the JL Wrangler, not knowing it takes 5 qts IN BOTH standard engines is pure laziness at this point.
I had my free tire rotation done with my free oil change once. I asked the tech if he rotated the tires properly and he beamed and said "yep, I rotated them clockwise." he wasn't joking. Next time at the dealership I told the service manager I didn't want that kid touching my Jeep, he said no worries he is no longer here. He put a tire on a car and finger tightened the lugs, fortunately a senior tech drove it and noticed the wheel was wobbly. You get what you pay for...I learned early on that my dealership was completely incapable of doing an oil change when I had my Nissan Titan. Once they never tightened my skid plate and it fell off, once they didn’t change the filter, once they over filled it and the last one I was charged for and it never got done at all. Now the only reason to take my vehicle to a dealership is if it needs an electrical diagnostic test. I managed to keep my JK out of the service department for 14 years until the gauge cluster malfunctioned and I couldn’t diagnose it myself. A free dealership oil change is complete dog
Thank you for your reply. And I’m not meaning to be dismissive of anyone else replying. I am asking @alphawolff specifically based on his occupation since he could have first hand knowledge and experience as to whether or not one quart overfill, while not recommended, is really all that serious.
they're paid like minimum wage, be happy your drain plug gets tightened. the oil change guys are as green as they get. always change your own oil if you have the ability to do so.
quite literally nothing. if it's slightly overfilled it'll make it through the pcv and just go right back into the engine for combustion. as it's port injected it isn't a real issue.
A friend of mine, Paul owns a small mechanic shop. His top notch mechanic resigned. He started the hiring process and gave a young man a try. His first task was a simple oil change. Paul saw thus said young man putting the oil plug back on with an impact gun. Paul picked that boy up by his buster browns and escorted him to the nearest door.
Yep, I started a thread on this way back when the JL first came out. Last I had seen, that thread had a ton of pages and was still going. FIVE quarts for the JL Wrangler due to a smaller oil pan.
