Anybody else experienced this? I have a 2021 Ram Promaster 2500, purchased new. I travel full time - about 25,000 miles a year, mostly highway miles - and change oil religiously - synthetic, every 3000 to 5000 miles. Current mileage is 55,000. Recently I noticed that the oil on the dipstick is above the full indication line, the hash marks. I checked with a Ram dealer technician and he confirmed that the oil level should not exceed the full level. I had my oil changed again and put in 5 quarts instead of 6 (6 specified in owner’s manual). Initially the dipstick showed the correct level, but now the oil level on the dipstick is too high again. I’m concerned; I don’t want to screw up my engine with too much or too little oil. I have asked oil change technicians if they are draining the old oil completely and they confirmed that they have. Any solutions, experiences, suggestions appreciated.

On ours, 5.6 ltrs (6 qts) has always registered a little over full. The tiniest bit over the top of the bullet. I've gone to 5.5 ltrs recently, mainly to make the leftover amount (0.5 ltr) ready for the next oil change. But that 2% reduction is barely noticable on the dipstick.
