Audi servicing and oil level

[mattylondon]

So today I had an MOT with Audi Norwich, car passed

They also did their car check service and noted that the engine oil was only at 25% full. They duly topped it up for me (probably with my oil in the boot as it wasn't invoiced for)

However, I checked the oil level this morning before going for the MOT. The car was cold and previously used yesterday, so the oil had 14+ hours to settle in the sump, and the dip stick reading was 2 or 3mm above max.

I did question them and they responded with that it should be checked after running. But surely this will give a false reading on the dip stick as oil is elsewhere in the system?

I'll give it an hour or two before I'll go and read the dip stick to check it's not overfilled..
