2.4 oil capacity showing at low even after adding 5 quarts

[dragonflyz67]

I have 2004 TJ 2.4l manual shift and just changed oil and filter; sadly has been sitting for quite some time. No apparent leaks after change but is only showing at minimum line even after adding 5 Qts. I have checked cold and after driving around with same read. As far as I know, parts are original. Anyone else had this?

Pictures might help. Might not be the original dipstick.

The 4.0 requires 6qts. Where did you get the info to put 5qts in? Never had the 4 cylinder so just throwing that question out there. One of the guys with a four banger will jump in here

According to the FSM, you should be overfilled with 5 qts.

Quick google, but looks like the 2.4L dipstick is ~4" longer than the 4.0L. 28 vs 24". May be worth a quick measure.

Or look for a P/N on the dipstick.

Guy at Advanced told me 4.7L and Google search said both 4 and 5 so when 4 Qts didn’t show I went to 5 Quarts. I’ve done Google search both on my oil pan and stick using photos and they appear to be original. Sorry I’m not real mechanical but I have the Chilton manual and I am good at research

You can download the Jeep Factory Service Manual (FSM) under Resources on this forum. Much better than Chilton.

Owner's manual as well.

Do you see a P/N on it anyiwhere?

Looks like the factory dipstick handle may be round:

4.0L at 24", yours should be ~4" longer:
