Recently got a used BRZ in nice condition. A dealership had changed the oil - I have receipt. I checked this morning and the oil level is above the high mark on the dipstick. Is this normal? Maybe I am missing some key step in checking BRZ oil level?

Here is the thing - recently my wife brought her new Kia Soul to a dealer for an oil change, and that arrived back also over the fill limit by over half a quart. What gives? I don't know much about new cars, but with my old cars I checked the oil level when the engine was cold to be sure all the oil had drained into the pan.

Maybe I am behind the times with these new cars? Or else two different dealerships have overfilled my vehicles (which seems low odds).

Thanks for any advice on how to do what in the past was easy - check the oil level, lol.
