Can anyone tell me who is responsible for putting oil and fluids in a new car? Is it done at the factory or is it done during the pdi stage at the dealership?

The factory do the first fill.
the dealer check some fluids on PDI.
if you want to know everything that is checked during PDI
another poster may have the full list.
OR ask a dealer for a copy of their PDI check list.


This may vary slightly between manufacturers.
