Dealer doesn't know?
Many on here remember me doing my coolant flush a couple weeks back. From what I understood on here, the "min" line is actually the full line on the coolant reservoir. I mistakenly filled almost to the "full" mark. Either way, I took it in to the dealer for an oil change and their "multi-point inspection", in which they marked they added MORE COOLANT!! I looked again at the bottle, and it is now sitting ABOVE the "max" line! Does the dealer go by a different policy or something??

I wouldn't trust anyone to do my oil change but me. I want to know what's going in there and exactly how much. Though last time I forgot to put the drain plug back in, and didn't realize it until I had dumped 3 gallons in and clear to the ground.

Definitely thinking about doing my next one, it seems straight-forward enough...

eoe is the industry standard. they let anyone change oil.
best bet is about 1/2" below min line.

haha cleaned it out good though! im with you no one else does my oil change except me. i had someone tell me it takes away the value from my truck because i dont have maintainance records. i laughed! i would buy a truck from a guy who has changed his own oil anyday over the person who took it in and had no idea what was going on (granted if they were in the same condition)
