Has my mechanic overfilled oil and is this a problem?

Sadly true. I had a Mercedes 180E which had a full Benz service history from new, and I enquired at my local MB dealership about the cost of servicing older models, to see if it was possible to keep up the record. They offered two service levels, standard and premium or something. I asked what the premium service had that the standard service didn't. "Oh, it's very thorough. They take the wheels off and check the brakes, everything!"
So you ask for a full, standard main dealer service, and they Don't. Even. Check. The. Brakes.
My local Mercedes dealer checked the brakes on services I did with them when I had the E class. I had percentages of brake wear and tyre wear on every service report.0
