Shocking service and aftersales

Good day Mr Ruthven.

Athena alerted to me to the below mail from you regarding our technician overfilling your vehicle with 3 litres of oil when your vehicle was here for a service on the 31.08.2023 (Winter Special).

I discussed this allegation with my Master Technician, and he advised that it is impossible to overfill a vehicle with that much amount of oil.

He also advised me, that for arguments sake, that if a vehicle is overfilled, it will exhibit immediate signs of overfilling and not about 2 months later. The seals would start leaking and the vehicle would start smoking almost immediately.

The technician also questioned where and when this amount of oil was removed from the vehicle. Was it when the vehicle was hot and under operating temperature or was it cold/standing for a while when all the oil is settled at the bottom.

My technicians service a lot of Rangers daily and they know the exact amount of oil each model takes, so the chance of them overfilling a vehicle with 3 litres of oil is highly improbable.

Good Afternoon Mr. Ruthven I investigated your claims when it was discussed with Rochelle and again when Chantelle, Guest Experience Manager, were informed of Your claim. The service was performed 31st of August 2022 with 158 893km on odometer. As per our records and our Master Technician, we did not overfill Your vehicle. We service Rangers on a daily basis and make use of calibrated oil pumps to fill vehicles to the right capacity as per Ford schedules presented by Ford. The first date You informed Rola Ford Herm**** of the overfill was 26 October 2023, that is 56 days since we supposedly overfilled Your vehicle. On the invoice of 22 November 2023 from Kelfords presented to Chantelle, Your vehicle shows 166 200km on odometer. We believe that the excessive oil would have presented itself much earlier if Rola Ford Herm**** did in fact overfill. In the first couple of days You would have experienced the smoking that You only referred to on email of 26 October 2023. It is therefor our conclusion that Rola Ford Herm**** definitely did not overfill Your Ranger at the time of the service on 31st of August 2023. Kind RegardsMarco

I can attach the invoice for the oil change with wronge details, and the amend invoice 56 days after i complained . I can also attach the report from another ford dealership that have report that they had to correct oil levels, I am now taking the car back for more diagnostic as the car still blows blue smoke
