Lucky 7 Racing in Duarte, CA put at least 2.75 quarts too much oil in my engine. There was probably more, but I drove it about 300-400 miles before I found out and drained 2.75 quarts. The oil is so black it looks like they forgot to drain it. Now my engine stalls at every traffic light and can't go uphill very well. Lost compression on the rear rotor. They're not accepting responsibility, saying if they had put too much oil in there would be smoke coming out the tailpipe. Also saying that putting in too much oil wouldn't do any damage to the engine. Here's a video I made half way home.

Not sure why you are posting this in the 3rd gen section when you have an FC?? Just curious how you removed 11 cups of oil?
