Re: Mechanic...?

If you had a quart of extra oil in there, it's gotta release the pressure somewhere, and I would expect the most delicate part for that would be the oil pressure sensor...

I've heard all kinds of horror stories, from leaving the old filter gasket on, snapping off the dipstick tube, all the way up to forgetting the drainplug. When the oil change place told me that I needed a new PCV valve, I got out and politely showed them the CCV system, and have been doing my own ever since.

On a side note, has anyone noticed that the price of motor oil has gone up over the last couple years with the price of gas? It sure did around here...
