Sunday (yesterday) while I was at work, a repair man came in to fix one of the large refridgerators. He had a Dodge Sprinter work truck. I went about my delievers, but when I had a break and while he was waiting for temperature readouts, I decided to ask him what he thought of the Sprinter...the following conversation ensued:

Me: So how do you like the Sprinter?

Him: It handles pretty good and is great on diesel. But it's limited to a top speed of 85 mph

Me: (to self: well, it's a van).

Him: I went to the dealer to ask how much oil it holds and they said 12 quarts. So i changed the oil and put twelve quarts in it and th light came on telling me I put too much il in it.

Me: Uh, bummer? Well anyway, I bet it's an improvement over the Fod and GM vans (in reference to gas mileage, safety and handling).

Him: Yeah, that's the problem with the domestics. They let their products sit and don't build quality cars like Toyota.

Me: ...

Me: That's basically just the vans, they make products that are as good or better than what Toyota makes. Plus, Toyota's not exactly the quality king. Just recently they recalled 500,000 Tundras for steering defects that could cause them to swerve off the road.

Him: (here's the real kicker) That's just propaganda by the domestics.

Me: Uh...no...the NHTAS made Toyota issue the recall. Plus, I can tell you with experience Toyota's are overrated. Mine (the Prizm) has had to have the transmission replaced, clutch replaced, clutch cylenderrs replaced, broken door handles inside and out, electrical issues and more...all of which are the Toyota parts of the car.

At this point I had to go make a delivery, plus I probably shouldn't start an arguement with the guy who's supposed to fix my boss' equipment. Although I may (or may not) have given him some food for though.

I dunno where else to post this by the way...

this is a case of an idiot dealer..... the 2.7 litre turbo <only engine> takes 9.5 quarts not 12.
