Recent oil change at a new dealer since Chrysler closed my usual dealer..any way, oil on dip stick is of the max amount. Could this be from overfill???? .........did a search on the forum but did not find an answer to this question.

I know this can be caused by oil dripping into the cylinders from bad valve seals but sure hope that is not the problem.

Thanks guys and GREAT forum.
I quess it could be blow-by....don't want to over fill the crankcase though....I don't think there is reason to be concerned at this point
