Default Re: Factory Overserviced Oil

Prob just a flaw in setting of the in-plant dispenser. Some engines could be 3 qts overfull and no damage results as long a crank does not whip air into the oil, so a little overfull is ok. Toyota might overfill a little since a little oil usage in normal during the first few thousand miles; the truck could use a half qt and still read full on stick. That would be better than a customer stating that they had to add oil between the first oil change.
