Help! I recently had my oil changed at .....well maybe I shouldnt say yet, but they did a sloppy job with the whole check up on my car, to include not draining the old oil...( you can look at the plug and tell it hasnt been touched) and adding new oil to the point that it was 4 qts over full. Well within 4 days my car slung a rod. I didnt know it was over full prior to this, but so much oil blew out and there was oil everywhere and i know a good 3 qts on the ground where the car sat, plus the dip stick still read slightly over full. Now they are trying to say that that over filling an engine will do no more damage than blowing a few seals, however there is a whole in the side of the block you can stick your intire hand in. You can look up into the engine and see the crank and the rod missing. Is it possible for overfilling to cause this much damage, and does anyone have some sites that would show this information??
