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.

♦♦♦ How does van slope side to side effect the dip stick level ? ♦♦♦
Inquiring minds want to know... A rough sketch.
Stop guessing: Find a level spot. Glue on a bubble level (shim to make it read level if needed). Now you will always know that you are close to level whenever you check your oil. ---KenA
ps... The dip stick may be somewhere in the middle of the pan which would lessen the inaccuracy. (I did say approximate).
