Help Needed Now! V70R Overfilled With Oil! Dealer Claims It's OK!

I own a 2000 V70 R. I live in Toronto, Canada. I just took it into the
dealer for the 72kms service, as well as to correct a rough start when cold
problem and a few other items to get done before the warranty runs out at
80,000 kms. They claimed the 48,000 kms service had not been done (I bought
the vehicle about 1 year ago), so that was done as well. New plugs, etc.

They recommended doing an Electronic Throttle Service as well as a PCV Valve
service to help correct the rough start problem, and generally bring the
vehicle to spec. So far so good. They did a few other things under
warranty.

When I drove the vehicle away from the dealer, I noticed billows of blue
smoke coming out of the exhaust after about three minutes of driving. It
also lost power and was limping along. I turned around immediately and drove
back and left the car with them. I received a phone call in about an hour to
tell me they discovered that the car was overfilled with oil due to bad
calibration of the nozzle that measure out oil from drums for oil changes
and that everything was ok now.

Question to you all - can the vehicle "be ok now" as they claim? The loss of
power when I was driving must mean that it was forcing oil into all kinds of
places where oil shouldn't be - seals, gaskets, etc. How about the turbo?
They also must have road tested it, so the condition could have existed
beyond the driving I did.

Should I insist they rebuild the engine? Should I ask for a new engine?
Should I cry? Please help me to prepare for the conversation I'm about to
have with them tomorrow. I have their loaner for now.

Thanks,

Henry

 

overfilling can cause premeture failuire of oil seals and gaskets. i would
have thought it would be ok as you only drove it a few miles but keep an eye
out for oil patched on your drive and the dipstick

 

Someone just posed this question to Click & Clack, the Car Talk Guys on
radio and they said that no harm could be done. The reduction in power
is normal due to the viscous loading of the crank and the burning of oil
was due to the excess oil in the head that was leaking around the
valves. They suggested that you might use this as an excuse to get the
pan and valve gaskets replaced, but that they should be OK.

 

Your 2000 V70R does not have a PCV valve, get your money back.
