I'm sorry to be so critical, but that type of service is not good enough. Can you recall a purple coloured car at their workshop? How fortunate you checked the oil level. The engine should have been tested once it was put back together and the oil level rechecked.

Not only that John, but the engine was run up and the cooling system flushed 3 times to clear out the oil from the cooling system.
I'm a bit puzzled as to why the
low oil warning light didn't come on as the oil isn't up to the top of the red plastic bit on the dip-stick.
