Thumbs down Too little, much or just right.

I drove my new Fg F6 home upon delivery to notice a coolant smell & summised that it was a new car / fresh motor, so walked away contempt.
Came out an hour later to put the car in my shed & noticed a pool of coolant. Parked NEW car in garage & found coolant tank empty & the cap loose.
That is when I thought I best check the oil level.
Was less than impressed to find oil was 12mm over/past the full mark.
Ford & dealer quality control/check is ? They did rectify.
Recently had 6mth service which included oil change & go figure .
About 8mm over full.
I wish I could buy booze over full. I'd be happy to run that risk of overfull ?

I did wonder when I supplied my own oil & I asked the guy who did the job how much oil it took to be told over 6lts. Pushed for more detail as the filter holds oil but ... huh. : :
