What do you think could have gone wrong?

Thanks!
Are you sure LITERS were used to fill the vehicle, and not QUARTS. If you used quarts...you need to use 8.5 quarts.

Seeing that he is posting from UAE it would be safe to assume they are on the Metric standards and not the English standards.

But your info is correct as usual.
