That's a bit too high.

Now I just need to remember to throw it in the glove box... When we get the car back from getting fixed, I will check the fluid level when it is cold. That should give me a benchmark. I could run it around the block to completely warm it to get that measurement too. I'll post when I get the chance.
Can't I just use my oil dipstick (after cleaning it) and then measure it with a ruler?

ToolSource must have seen me coming...the current price is now $76.85 each... I'll wait on that for a bit...
Just looked on eBay...even worse at $79.92, but, it was with free shipping.

Our family just grew by two, so we traded in our Journey on a new Dodge Caravan. If someone is interested in buying the dipstick I have, let me know. It'll be worth the peace of mind, and cheaper than anywhere else. Thanks.

Yes, I'm sure of it because I had fluid foam once in the 09 and fluid came out the dipstick.

Having no dip stick really angers me. What is the purpose of this? Sorry...stupid question....So Dodge can continue to get money from consumers because of the money they are loosing from stupid mistakes like this! Definitely not user friendly! And no mention of it in the MANUAL or CD.....GRRRRRRR!

Try lifting the hoods on other manufacturers
vehicles you'll find more and more sport limited
access components , premise is to stop stupid
people from doing stupid things and then wanting
warranty coverage.
