Hi Alvin, I am sorry I am having troubles with this car too...I have had several since I bought it. I love everything about it but the problems. I will not put the long oil filter on although it did sound like a good idea! I have been putting Castor oil in the car since I got it....would you switch now at almost 70,000 miles????
thanks alot!!

Can you park your car on a level spot overnight if you can raise the hood and check the oil on the dipstick after the car has been parked overnight,before you crank it up.Pammie if you do this YOURSELF everyday for about a week and then once or twice a week thereafter YOU won't have to take anybodies word about your oil level you'll have the piece of mind of knowing.Also I would stick with the type oil filter that came on the car if you put a longer one on there is a chance you could hit something in the road and puncture it causing you to lose all your oil and then destroy your engine,I would very strongly recommend you to use a good 100% synthetic oil to eliminate the dreaded Sludge problem that everyone complains about.I have an 02 with about 114,000 miles and yes its the 2.7 and NO problems ,I change oil and filter every 3000 miles or three months .I hope this helps you because YOU have a Great car. About the long filter it hangs down lower than the oil pan so that puts it and the car in a risky situation .

My x called Michigan and they said they had alot of complaints on then to take it to one of 2 shops they recommended.. so I picked one. I have to drive a hour just to get there. I have been pleased with there work until this. I am totally confused over all this with the oil. Saying it was over when the stick showed none and being told by so many people this is not possible leaves me to wonder what really is my problem!!! do I have one or was it just the simple fact that the connectors were loose and oil escaped??? confused!

The fact that the guy was rude to you ought to be a red flag. -- --Geoff MML Moderator/Admin/Website Admin/Map Keeper '92 Acclaim; '03 Grand Caravan; '04 Jeep Grand Cherokee http://www.moparmailinglist.com Gizmo Project (Free VOIP): ggariepy68 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?
