That's a good advise from the shop owner. From my experience I've seen two cases where oil is overfilled and ended up with a blown AOS a few days after the oil change. 1st was my car which I filled to just over 8.5 qts at that time. 2nd was a friends car after an independent shop changed the oil and was overfilled. Steven Creek Porsche which is near me and also quoted me $1200 to change the AOS at that time also mentioned to me that overfilling the oil will damage the AOS.

Where in the Bay Area are you? I'm in Santa Clara.
