F150 Ecoboost Oil Change Problems
I posted over in some F150 forum but didn't get much feedback (probably because i was pissed and ranted at the time). Thought someone here might be able to chime in.
Long story short, I had my oil changed right before Christmas in my 2012 F150 Ecoboost by the dealer where i bought the truck. Fast forward a few weeks and i am noticing my truck is running like a dog but i just attributed it to the colder weather.
I get the truck washed and i decide to check it over (routine stuff) and find that the oil is overfilled.... a lot. I caught 8.5 (engine calls for 6.2) quarts in my drain pan not including what shot all over my driveway. What concerns me even more is it reeked of gasoline.
Before i did anything i called the dealer this past Saturday and told them of my discovery and asked if i could swing by since i was only 5 minutes away. I was told that they are busy and to schedule something Monday. I explained i cant bring it in during the week and i don't want to keep driving it like this... they would have none of that and insisted i schedule something when it is "convenient" for me.
Anyways, I want to make sure nothing may be damaged but i have no idea what to check. The gasoline smell is what concerns me the most.
All of this has made me strongly reconsider buying the 2014 Mustang i ordered from them...

Thanks.
I am going to try and make an appointment at another dealer when I can get some time. I am usually at work from 8am to 6 or 7 PM so weekdays are pretty much out.
Going to call another dealer a little further out from me and see if i can make an appointment there.

I have really had no issues with this truck other than a few rattles in the dash and then this whole oil change mess.
I'll feel out this new dealer before i mention any TSBs.
