Oil Level
I had the oil changed after reaching the break-in miles.
The dealer's service department may have been a bit ambitious with the fill as I checked the oil-level in I Drive today and saw this.
Is there any problem with over-filling?
Also, how much oil is represented by each mark on the virtual dip-stick?

Being an early adapter BLAH!
