boy the stories I could tell.... many yrs ago a buddy called me to tell me his fiat wouldn't go over 30mph and would I look at it Ok he shows up and the engine is filthy so we get some gunk and clean it The dealer told him he needed a valve job 2k on a 4k car??? so run compression all cylinders at 165+-3. try timing its ok can't figuer it out tho so its late he goes home calls me a few days later and wants to dump it car's got 18k on the od. so i says let me look at it again he comes over and the engine is filthy again????? Well I pull the dip stick and oil is to the hilt. I end up taking 3 to 4 quarts out with a sucker usually used on my boats. Car ran great. The same a holes that wanted 2k for a valve job had just given it a oil change/service a few weeks earlier.
they never dumped the old oil just added 5 qts
