This story had a happy ending. The mechanic made a mistake with the oil, since he had just changed brands, so he refunded the difference. When I looked at the dipstick under better lighting, and level ground, it turns out that the oil level was exactly at the top end of the cross-hatching. The manual (Canadian) tells me that it only takes 3.8 litres, but he put in 4.5 litres. Also, after talking to my ex, apparently the Uplander came from the factory with sealed components that don't need to be lubricated. It's only the replacement parts that have grease fittings. So it appears my new mechanic is at least somewhat competent and honest.
