Sure enough, it reads ~1 qt high. I ask him to pull the excess out, and what does the schmuck say? "Well if you read the manual, you need to give the oil 1-2 hours to settle before you can get an accurate reading." Oh, so liquid takes an hour to settle? That's a new Law of Physics for me.

.

well, if he tryed to tell you the oil needed to settle, that would only mean that the level would read higer on the stick than it did when you first checked it.
what an @- hole that guy is!
