    Your oil was overfilled when the dealer changed it if its a qt high.

    Examine the low tire carefully. You may have a nail causing a slow leak.

    Now that you've adjusted the air pressures properly (another dealer overfill) be sure to adjust the pressure in your spare. Often forgotten till needed.

    What 'coolant gasket' was repaired?

    another light that will be coming on someday is a orange triangle on the speedometer side. when you look in the book one thing it says is low oil pressure. that's BS it is basically triggered my mileage and is nothing but a maintenance required light.

    careful with this. it sometimes works and sometimes will freeze the system by wiping sensor numbers which then have to be re-entered. like mine. I believe it's because I rotated in a 5th sensor that wasn't stored in the memory, but be careful in any case.

    Good tip there!

    I have only the four sensors and have used it many times after airing down / up. I also have TS and the serial numbers stored away, so it would be no big issue for me.


    One note there. We don't need to worry about sensor positions as the system figures it out after hitting the Reset.

    I reach under and put a magic marker line on my filter before I bring it for service. Then I check that the filter was changed and oil level correct before I leave the service.

    Being Friday, when I saw the title “Oil High” I thought this was going to be something new and akin to eating Tide Pods or something. Guess I have been well trained!

    Glad the OP got it figured out with everyone’s help.

    I trust mine ... and I think today with all the competition (and internet posts) they realize that customer trust is hard to build an super easy to loose .... However, Mechanics make mistakes, a few disgruntled (especially newbe's doing low paid oil changes 88 hours a day) , are sometimes hurried and I'd rather be safe than sorry .... Besides, Kinda hard to prove to the dealer the mechanic screwed up after the fact of damage/breakdown .... JMO
