Lincoln 1988 Town Car

[babaass]

I have a Lincoln 1988 Town Car and I took it to Midas & the guy who changed the oil on it didn't know it had two drain plugs & he over filled it with oil. On the way home it started jerking and there was black smoke coming out. I called Midas & they had it towed back to the shop and that it what they told me was wrong. Do you think it has caused any more damage to the car??

It most likely did not cause any more damage.Was it worth saving $2 at Midas for some under-paid/inexperienced guy to put on the cheapest oil filter (& the crappy oil of the wrong weight) than to go to the best? Most Lincoln dealers (even Ford dealers) have special prices on oil changes (call around) and use genuine factory oil filters (with built-in check valves) & use a quality oil of the proper weight.You got what you paid for.
