    Freightliner opens in the morning. My best guess would be, all the old oil didn't drain out.

    I looked in my book and it says 40.1 quarts with oil and filter change. Did you drain it when the oil was still hot?

    Don't take offense to this, but are you using 5 quart jugs of oil thinking that they're gallon jugs? I have to ask only because 8 gallons is 32 quarts, but 8 5 quart jugs is 40 quarts.

    Nope I checked that they a 4 quart, 1 gallon jugs. Dealer thinks we might have the wrong dip stick but that doesnt seem right because we check the oil on it all the time and it is always right on. Now it is over the stick with only 32 quarts. Doesnt seem right. Dealer said to add another gallon and run it and bring it to them for the next oil change. If it is Over full I dont like the idea of running around like that. They said it will not hurt it...
