Friend took her '22 CX-5 in for oil changeay Mazda dealer . They put in 5 quarts too much oil. She stalled out after a couple miles down the road. Car would start but not go with any power. Engine would not rev. Car was towed to the dealership. Fast forward a couple days and she gets her SUV back with the confession of what happened. Advice on what she should do?

Take it to an independent Mazda shop for an inspection. Get a letter documenting what happened. Get a detail and a tank of gas.

You need to ask that question on the Mazda club, not the Maverick one.

Thanks for the tip. I actually advised the owner to do just that. However, this post reflects a real world event that could happen to anyone...regardless of make.
