So my 2000 cherokee 4.0 takes 6 quarts of oil right?

I put 6 in and it's way over filled, so I pulled probably a whole quart out and it's still a tad high.

Ideas?

they do take six, almost makes me wonder if its somehow got the wrong dipstick in it, also, did you start it before you checked it?

MrAnderson1987

Dipstick checked its the right one. And yes I did start it and even ran it down to my work(I got called in halfway thru).

Imma go check it dead cold right now

MrAnderson1987

It's the same, tad above

RatchetMaster10

I'd it's just a tad above full it will be good

MrAnderson1987

But at 5 quarts it should be low haha not a tad above.

Oh yea and I'm experiencing low oil related issues haha

that is a weird one, any damage to the pan?

MrAnderson1987

Visual inspection says no

RatchetMaster10

im stumped... gotta think on this one

MrAnderson1987

So is everyone else, including my mechanic haha. He doesn't understand why it'd be doing all these thing but if its only taking five drive with five then. Wants me to throw a gauge on it and drive for a week and get back to him. Meanwhile it "seems" like the clicking is slowly getting more frequent.

something's wrong with my lady

This is my thought, too.

Know anyone else with a Cherokee? (Borrow the dipstick to compare.)

What things?

MrAnderson1987

As perviously stated the dipstick is correct. I checked part numbers to verify.

Might be an odd thought, but did you replace your oil filter with the change? if not there might have been a little hiding in there!
