Recently bought 19 Rubi and the oil was changed before I bought it. I noticed today that the oil level is about 1/4 inch above the marks on the stick.

Should I pull out a little end get the level on the marks? IF so, should I put a syphon hose down the tube?

TIA

Change the oil and put a fumoto valve (or similar) on while you're at it, in case it ever happens again. A dealer tech probably put 6 quarts in.

If it's a 3.6 that's how all of mine have read when they have the proper amount of oil in them. The oil is always onto the cable, above the notch in the casting on the end of the dipstick.

1/4" above that recessed area in the dipstick won't hurt a thing.

This is how mine reads with 5 quarts and a filter change - note, it's well above the recess in the dipstick end. In fact, both my prior 2020 and my 2022 read this way with 5 quarts - if you let it sit long enough.

Change it if you wish, but it's no big deal.
These things will be ok with 6 - not what you should do, but it certainly won't self-destruct.

It's all Good. Drive it until the next oil change. Unless your pockets are so full of money it's falling out?

ITs funny, my wifes is always above the line and on the cable at full also. However, mine is not. At full, mine sits right at the line.

My 3.6L is exactly the same. No issues.

I took my 2.0 in because of the oil level and they compared dipstick to another. They had did oil change but assured me that it was correct
