i did an oil change saturday on my 9, and i added 4.7 quarts(less than 5), and it went over the second mark about 1/16". is it safe to drain a little of it, or should i continue to drive it normally?

 

That little bit won't hurt.

 

bro, itll be ok.

 

Drain the oil a little to get it down to the right level. There are a bunch of reason's why you don't want to have too much oil in the motor.

 

ill drain a bit tommrow just to be safe

 

you should have started the car and iddled it for a few min, the oil filter will soak in and take some oil, oil level should come down.

if not like the above said, many bad reason you dont want to overfill

 

Evoryder by the way your oil's should be on their way.

 

A little bit over like that is fine; don't worry about it.

 

dont drain it you going to burn it off anyway

 

cool

 

Bingo.

Same thing I was going to suggest. I went a little over on my oil change, started the car and it went right between the arrows.

 

I like to keep my oil right in between my level marks, which equates to about 4.5qts. But 4.7qts definitely is not going to hurt anything.

 

Just a question but would 5 quarts possibly hurt anything?

We put 5 in mine cuz I didn't know the exact amount and it just died and wont start......

I have a feeling I've killed my stock fuel pump cuz i'm not hearing it prime but this thread just randomly came up in my search and I just did an oil change so I thought I'd look and it's kind of scared me!

 

no not at all mine friend use to put 6 quarts in his car cause it burned so much oil

 

Run the filter for the Dodge Stealth. It is larger and now the engine will take all five quarts - just dump it in - simple. Also, the larger (meaning better) filter for the Stealth is usually cheaper than the Evo filter.
