Hi all I have a 2000 Durango 4.7 V8, and the oil capacity with a filter is 6 quarts. I changed the oil on a level surface (put in 6 quarts of course) ran the engine for 20 minutes. After I ran it I let the truck sit for 15 minutes and re checked the oil level (stated in bold print in the manual) and saw the level was about a quart over the full mark. I have read up on this and found that this is a common problem with these dodge's. I called a couple of dealerships but got no help. A co worker of mine told me today to pull the dip stick out and lightly engrave the "new full" mark where the oil level is, and the old full mark can be the "new add mark." Well Just curious to know anyone else have this problem? I am thinking of doing what my co worker suggested.
