OP here. I’m about to leave this site when I see suggested posts, one of them similar to mine. Here’s another guy’s experience: [MikeInNH](https://community.cartalk.com/u/MikeInNH) [Sep 10](https://community.cartalk.com/t/dealership-states-that-they-have-never-overtightened-an-oil-plug-ever/147836/51) > The Dodge dealer I bought my Caravan from years ago did it to me one time. I did most of the oil changes myself but I would have them do it when they ran a special. My GMC pickup - I had a coupon from my dealer for an oil change…It was real cheap. I dropped it off since it was about 100’ from where I worked and picked it up after work. I opened the hood and there was my bright Orange Fram filter. I pulled the dip-stick and the oil was NOT clean. I was furious. Service manager insisted that they did the oil change. I showed him my Fram Filter…He shut up and brought out a tech who drove car on lift as I watched and changed oil and filter in front of me. They probably could get away with that with their customers who only go to them for their service. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.cartalk.com/t/dealer-oil-change-how-to-confirm-actually-done/155291)._
