Despite feeling it would be better to just add 1 quart at a time, trusted him and went ahead with adding the 2 quarts in one go.
Am now a little worried however about having possibly overfilled and may lose some sleep over this so any information about what to think about this scenario would be welcome. Has anyone else gotten the memo about add 2 if it asks for 1? Does the idrive check oil gauge freak out and give a max warning message for too much oil or does it quietly let you choke it to destruction?
Thoughts, views, facts, + info please!

My Service Advisor told me the exact same thing. Nothing to worry about.
