Talon Is my motor hurt?

[Puller810]

So I had a miswired fan, light came on. Took it to the dealer to have it repaired. No problem, Honda says for the inconvenience we'll cover you're first service. Awesome, so the dealer does the service and my wife picks the machine up. Sits in the garage all weekend till today, its finally nice out and my wife takes it out back to check on her feeders. Runs it around a bit calls me and said it stalled but restarted so she parked it. I get home put some fuel in it, it was a 1/2 a tank but what the heck. Take it out back, its running fine. Go around a corner oil light flashes, I shut it down immediately. Check the oil, not on the dipstick. Thread the level gauge in its barely touching the stick, evidently the dealer did not reference the service manual and understand how Honda checks the oil.
Manual says if light comes on engine damage can happen. So unhappy right now. I'll be calling the dealer in the morning.

If this was you're machine what would you want done to make it right?

Be nice if they credit you an extended warranty. Be nice and explain your extremely worried. But I'm sure it's fine. These things will basically save themselves I believe.

And this is why my local dealer will hopefully never see my Talon...

Oil should be between the two lines after sitting 2-3 minutes from a full 3-5 minute warm-up.

I personally would call them and ask how many quarts they put in then I would drain it and check there work,

 

[HondaJake]

Did you get a copy of the work order ?

If it was hitting the stick when you screwed it in you'll probably be fine, still uncool of them not to double and triple check. All DCT Honda's are a pain.

I called, tech couldn't remember how much he put in. He let it set all day before checking the oil. It was 2 quarts low. I normally service my own vehicles however this was a free service. I went through and checked all the other fluids to make sure they were correctly filled.
The dealership gave me a free service kit because of the issue. Put a hundred hard miles on yesterday with no issues.
