Blame the lawyers. Too much oil can damage your car, and the mechanics
could then be subject to lawsuits for the damage. Too much oil can also
be a symptom of bad gaskets letting antifreeze or unburned gasoline flow into the oil.
In either case it would be hard to determine whether the mechanic caused the
damage or it was already there before he changed the oil.
