I check the dipstick out of habit (if the vehicle has one). It just can't be called negligence not to do so.

I believe his 2005 4.8i came with a dipstick. If the tech fail to use the dipstick after an oil change to determine the level of the oil in the engine then I would consider that negligence on the tech part.
If this was brought to a court of law I'm sure the jury would find that it was negligence on the Tech and dealer part. The tech for failing to use the dipstick to determine the oil level after an oil change and the dealer for hiring a tech that is incompetent.
