I had the oil changed last week and put over 300 miles on the veh.I tipstick reading was down about a 1/16 of an inch. Is this normal. No spots of oil on the garage floor. Or in the driveway. Could it be the rear seal. Of course I dont know how many there are. Any suggestions

Hi there,

I would not be to concerned about that, all I would be doing is keeping an eye on the oil level and check it in the morning before its started, this will give you a constant to confer with.
