Yeah sorry Eric. It was pretty clear the engine didn’t lose pressure so it’s unlikely there’s any real issue based on the story told. It doesn’t need full oil capacity to produce enough oil flow

With some luck it will be ready today, I’ll report back
How confident are you that you didn't overfill it ? If it was significantly overfull that could have helped pop a seal.
Yours has a DPF??? I didn’t think any of the Aus spec ones had a DPF.Quote:

In fact the only thing that hasn't played up on the car is the 6 speed Manual box. Though with the way my wife gets on with the clutch is only a matter of time.
99% confident, I only ever put in what I take out - unless the dipstick still showed low but in this case it didn’t.Quote:

Yes. Oil won’t leak from there in any quantity unless under pressure when the engine is running, so yes, you can change seals without changing the oil.Quote:

Picked up the car today.
appears to be running perfectly - phew!
And no charge which is nice (and surprising).
Fingers crossed this seal stays put.
