Ok, this weekend I did my 4K oil change along with checking my final drive level. As I was unscrewing the inspection bolt, oil began to pour out. I tightened it back and was trying to determine how there could be such an over level of fluid. Then I remembered my 600 mile service and inspection. I let the dealer do it and as I was waiting at the parts counter the service manager came out and told me that the price was going to be a little more than he quoted because they had to use a second bottle in the final drive. I was in a hurry and it just didn't register. I took the bottle and paid the tab and left. I looked in the shop and found the half full 8 oz bottle. I called the dealer the next day and had the new service manager look the ticket up, sure enough I was charged for two 8 oz bottles. When I asked how they used two bottles when the capacity was just about seven ounces, he had no answers. I made them supply me with another bottle so I could drain and change. I drained just over 10 oz. first, how in the world did they get it in? Pulling the breather is all I can come up with. Second, will having run it over filled damage any of the seals or anything else?
