You can check the oil if you know where the dipstick for it is on your engine. Pull it out, wipe it off, put it back in, and pull it out again. Look at the oil on the end of it. New oil will look yellow and translucent, kind of like honey. Old oil is brown and you can't see through it most of the time. Just to double-check, look at it before you take it in, and again when you get it back. There should be a noticable difference between the two. If there isn't, and especially if the after-oil looks dirty, I would question it.
