Sorry to revive an old thread, but how did you know the put the wrong weight oil in your engine?
I am asking because I had the 1st oil change today on my 2.0T. I got home and let it sit for 45min. and then checked it and it looks darker than when the car had 500-1k mi. on it when I was checking it. It was very clear almost transparent - like water when the car was "new". This oil they put it is light brown, so I am pretty sure they did not put 0W-20 in it, and probably not full synthetic either. I have suspected this dealer rips people off for a while now, because they did a similar thing with my wife's 2013 Accord EX about 6 months ago. I checked her oil and it was dark and almost down to the lower line on the dipstick right after they supposedly did an oil change. I had to go up to the service manager and they re-did the oil change and it looked much lighter and was at the top on the dipstick. So my dealer rips people off and leaves the old oil in, or just tops it off, which I think is what they did with my car. The level was between the low and high line on the dipstick on my 2.0T (with 3,200 mi.) this morning when I checked it. Now the level is only slightly higher, but not much lighter at all. Almost the same color as it was before the oil change. It should be a very very LIGHT brown or yellow color on the paper towel, and it should look almost transparent on the dipstick and hard to see - just like it was the first 1,000 mi. I was checking it, and then it slowly got darker from 1K-3K. This new oil they put in is nothing like when I first got the car. The color looks like a 5W-20 or 5W-30 that I used to put in my Civics, or it's the old oil the car came with.
I think they just added 1/2 Qt. and that was it, because they were telling me I did not need an oil change until 5k mi. So they probably assume I will bring it back in another 3K mi. and they 'll do the "real" oil change then.
Now I am doubting they changed the filter too..
I 'll be getting some Mobil 1 and a couple of filters and go to my friend's place to get it done, because he has more tools than me and ramps you drive the car up on.
Fricking stealers. I never trusted them and never will. I will call them and bitch though so they know not all their customers are naive or clueless.
