I recently did the same service but took it to an indie and they only used 5 out of the 7 it came with. Sent the other 2 bottles back to FCP and got a store credit.

As long as you followed everything to a T, you should be okay.

Hope this helps.
Thanks. I have around 3 litres in there now, which I guess isn't terribly far off. Not like it's dry.
Only drove it 3-4km. Hopefully it will be okay.

One indie said it should be fine to drive it to his shop, as long as it is low speeds. The other one said I should have it towed because it is a risk. Opposite opinions lol.
Thoughts?

Guess I won't be sleeping for the next few weeks.
