Better find out how much oil he has in it first.

I have a great memory... just short. I had forgotten this. The first time we drove it around the block I saw smoke coming from under the hood. When I popped the hood, the oil filler was out and the dip stick looked like it had overflowed. I checked the oil and it was almost a quart over full. Seems that during assembly they did some pre lube, then poured in five quarts after installing the engine sometime later. I drained off less than a quart. At that point it had been driven 24 miles. I don't think it's overflowed from the dip stick since.
