yea I know the feeling. My dad's 2.0 engine takes about 1 quart more. I
hate it but as long as the dip stick says you have enough then you are
safe...
All I can figure is that our oil pan must be pretty small.

Subject: DML: oil capacity
I'm gearing up to do a fluids change on the truck, and my owner's manual
says that my 3.9 only takes 3.5 quarts with filter?? That's a full quart
LESS than my dad's 2.0L Stratus takes (I know because I usually do the oil
changes)
Sounds fishy. Anyone with a 3.9 care to throw anything in?
Later,
Jon
