Pretty much have the same experience at last oil change. So now I am looking for used cheap jack stands, so I don’t have to deal with auto shop morons.
Does anybody know tip or trick to check level on dipstick? Every time I try to read the level it’s just guessing. I tried to remove the dipstick in lots of ways and still no luck, every time I get different reading and every time it covered in oil over the FULL mark.

Check your oil first thing, before starting or running the engine. Pull the dipstick once, wipe clean with a paper towel, reinsert dipstick all the way in, then pull back out and read level. To change the oil - have synthetic 10W30 and a filter on hand. I run engine to normal op temp then run up on ramps, have a fram quick change drain bolt valve installed already and mines done in 20 minutes tops. Beats going to the idiot-hut-oil- change-overfill-to-cover-my-a$$-place. Had enough of that...

I think whatever mechanic that changed your oil doesn't know how to read the specs and measure to those specs I would
then 
then ask them to give my $$$$ back for the s*** job they did.
