Dipstick reading

[soupy1234]

Warm engine. Allowed oil to drain back into pan for 15 minutes. 2 readings showing both sides of the dip stick. For some reason one side always shows more (I assume because of engine camber).

I'd call that overfull (so does the owner's manual BTW). Don't know if I'd try to remove some or not but if the dealer kept doing that, I'd definitely just do my own. I just did a 5000 mi oil change and just 5 3/4 quarts put it about 2/3 of the way to the upper mark which is just the way I like it.

Exactly. The whole “oh it’s fine” no matter what you show them is just mind numbing.
