    Got PM service oil change done while on home time and when I got back to the truck notice during my routine of checking stuff the dipstick was 3 inches above full line (Engine Cold). Going to get to Ryder asap to get some oil drained or go with it. Hear about rings or gaskets going if oil is too full. Pressures below are Idle then 1300 rpm. What do you think?

    That won't make any diffrence on your oil pressure Guage.
    But I would drain some oil out asap to the right level, it's not good to run over full.

    Will do, been running about a 1000k like this and hopefully no damage done. While on home time company called and asked if they could take truck to Ryder for me to get pm outta the way. I said he'll yea! From now on I'm gonna take it myself and check everything on site after. From putting oil filter on too tight so it leaks to this, it's sad that this happens. Professional right!? Will get it into Ryder after my final in orlando. Luckily 24hr shop is next door. I'll be calling Lakeland Ryder that did this to say a few words of WTF.
