Nice of my dealer to top off the oil after they replaced the turbo.

It was surely full, b/c i check the level after they replaced the cam phasers.

I wondered if they changed the oil after the cam phasers?

The navigator is 1year old with 12,000 miles. This is under warranty.

I did not get to inform the dealer yet.
I just found it this evening.

I was traveling when we bought ours and when I changed the oil for the first time after having it for a month it was nearly 3qts low. It was sold as new but a manager at the dealership had driven it so it had 4000 miles when we bought it.

IAM396, do you think your truck is leaking or being burning oil?

I think there is a post on oil consumption.

Every time I take my vehicle to the dealership for warranty service I do the following:
1. Write down the mileage
2. Take photos of each side of my vehicle, front, rear, left, right, top
On picking it up:
3. Inspect for damage
4. Inspect the work has been done to my satisfaction
5. Check oil level before driving off the lot

on any service I want to ensure was accomplished I tell them I want to inspect the old filter or I give them a bottle to collect a sample so I can send it off for testing. I have even marked tires to ensure tire rotation has occurred. Once bitten twice shy and it’s a helluva lot easier to complain and get redress before you leave the lot.

st381183,

That is an awesome Idea, I had the dealer pick up the truck b/c of Coronavirus.

i am going to print out your post and leave that in my glovebox as a check list.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

I walk 360° around the truck taking a video at drop off. I do the same before I drive it off the lot. I figure if I notice any damages later on, I have the two videos as evidence. I do the same thing for rental cars. I got stuck paying for somebody else’s damages once because I didn’t see it when I picked up the vehicle.

I once had a GM dealer scratch a my truck. I had dash cam footage of the guy hitting it, then getting out to look at it. I didn’t notice the scratches until the next day. They did fix it without me bringing up the video. I wasn't happy. I’m pretty sure they were hoping I wouldn’t notice or thought that it happened elsewhere.

It would be cool if we an add a dvr to the cameras already on the truck. And connect in thru the hotspot,

the fact that these vehicles have 4 cameras and no ability to use one to dash cam is sad. Tesla set the bar with their sentinel mode, I feel like that will trickle down the the rest of the market soon.
