Yes the amount of oil is OK. They put 4 new quarts in, and the last old quart is still there, mixed in with it. Glad you think it's OK, I will do the next one myself after around 2,000 miles (if that's too long let me know your opinion). I'm upset with the shop but they're the only one nearby so I'll just have to eat the $50. I'm shopping for a low-cost bike lift so I can start doing oil myself. Any ideas? I'm looking at the scissor jacks and bike lifts under $150. Any recommendations? The scissor jack looks cool but there are 2 bolts under the bike that it might rest on so I'm a bit concerned over it.

Running for a couple thousand miles with mixed oil/old oil/different weight oil isn’t going hurt a thing. Fill it and ride it!
I brought my own oil and filter. I thought something was up when they only used 4 of the 5 bottles, and when the middle oil plug was bone dry. Does anyone know if the oil is circulated through the whole bike, or if the oil is separated? Meaning, if they missed the middle hole, does that oil all still get circulated anyway?
