1. I recently bought 6 quarts of Mobile One High Mileage Oil 5W20 and a Wix 51516XP oil filter (this filter fits).
2. My 2003 Ford F150 4.2L requires 6 quarts of oil with filter.
3. I hired a mechanic to change the oil.
4. I then checked the oil level and the dipstick showed half quart low from the maximum mark and it stayed that way after driving.
5. Every oil change I've had with this mechanic for the last two years has always shown half quart low, but the mechanic never notified me of this.
6. I talked to the mechanic about my oil level low after oil change and all he did was look at me and had no answer.
7. Then I thought my truck was burning or leaking oil after the oil change.
8. I added a half quart of oil and it stayed at maximum mark until next oil change.
9. The mechanic then informed me that he is not obligated to check my oil level because I bought my own oil.
10. He claims he put the 6 quarts in as requested and his responsibility ends there.
11. The mechanic told me to bring in 7 quarts of oil at next oil change.
12. Question, Why is my oil level not up to the maximum mark with six quarts of oil?
