My dealer always takes photos of vehicles, when the enter for service. I'm sure it's more to protect them, but I figure it works both ways.

Now that I’m thinking of it a couple of interior photos in case something is amiss like a new tear or stain. Especially in the driver seat area, a forgotten screw driver in the back pocket, etc. I might start taking a overall photo of the engine bay too. I do all this right in front of the service advisor, it lets them know I’m observant. In the old days they would clean it before returning it but alas, not any more.

I once had a loaner they tried to pin some damage on it on me. My photos quickly laid that to rest. It’s sad we have to go to these lengths but they see so many cars and are usually rushing that mistakes and damage may occur.
No burn in 2,500 miles since I changed it. My wife had only driven it 1000 miles between purchase and me changing for the first time so I doubt it but who knows.

It is possible that the dealership had changed the oil prior to delivery and had used 5W20 instead of the recommended 5W30. I was working on a friends Dodge 3.5l that was three qts low after 3000 miles. Checked the service sticker and discovered that the oil service establishment had put in 5W20. The car had never had oil use issues prior and has not had them since.

Oh crap very low oil.
When I had the turbo replace on may 7th the milage was 12,204.
The dealer forgot to fill up the oil,
I brought the truck back and they topped off, and actually over filled abit.
No at 14797 and the oil is barely on the dip stick? That only 2593 miles.
What is going on here?

I burned over 2qts in 1200 miles on a road trip. My dealer isn't being very helpful so I'm going to go on the search for another that can help me. My catch can grand about 6oz every 500 miles but I'm burning way not than that. Seems to be worse on long drives

Was it burning oil before turbo change? May be there is a leak in one of the oil feed lines for the turbo.

Honestly I never looked at the oil levels,
I would have the oil changed.
I do not see any leaks.
