As far as the synchro rev engaged, yea thats annoying but whatever. Which dealership was this?
No way. Were talking oil that is at most 90 degrees ambient when they put it in! And you only need to turn it on to make sure theres no leaks, no "road test". What the hell would they test for on the open road? Are they looking in the rearview for an oil slick? Even when its hot outside the oil temp doesnt get that hot in 3 miles unless I am getting on it.
