Quick Follow-Up: I decided to bring a level to the garage where my car was parked prior to me checking the oil. Sure enough, it does have more of a slope to it than I thought. The paperwork and feedback I got from the dealer was only 1/4 quart had to be added.
I've driven it another 125 miles since. So far, I'm at 300 miles since the recall, and I've done city, highway and interstate driving. No issues, weird noises, or changes in drivability that I've noticed, other than the car did seem to idle kind of low when I got stuck in a traffic jam on the interstate yesterday. It was idling down to close to 500-600 RPM's, but I'm fairly confident it did the same thing prior the service... Hard to say for sure.
The only other thing I noticed yesterday is the "cricket" noise appears to be gone. I used to hear them at idle, and they'd be very apparent at any drive-thru when the sound vibrated off the wall. For whatever reason, after 6 years of ownership, I don't hear them anymore. Is that normal?
I think it would be valuable if we all knew what the highest mileage post-recall issue was. If nothing else, it would make the rest of us feel a little bit better when we surpass that mark.
