I'm not familiar with your exact application, but sometimes the installer doesn't check carefully, and leaves an old seal, o-ring or gasket up in the recepticle, and installs the new filter and gasket, thus ensuring a leak. A neighbor drove out of a fast lube place and blew his engine. The "Tech" had failed to put any oil in. The shop paid for a new engine, after an attorney insisted.

er... thread is from March 2012, and did you read the manual? Oil capacity is 6.6 US quarts for 250 & 350 RWD with filter change.

Hey everyone, I have a 2007 IS250 and yesterday did an oil change (the oil maint redq soon message came up on Monday), oil filter change and air filter change at a garage.
6 quarts of 5w-30 oil were put into the car.
I did ask the guy if he wasnt going to grease the oil filter and he said no. That oil change was done at around 6:00 pm eastern time yesterday.
Now this morning i.e.10 minutes ago I discover an oil leak.
What do you guys think is the problem?
Should I watch this leak and see or take it immediately back to the garage?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

I would do an oil analysis to make sure nothing happened to the bearings. If this was at a shop, document the incident, have it on record, do a BBB complaint etc if it does turn going to court.
