Or maybe the information can be found somewhere else...hmmm...maybe in the OWNERS MANUAL.

This quote sounds a lot like sissy talk to me.... Now tough guys like us who live in the center of the universe don't need the girly aids of heated seats & steering wheels, we tough it out with our +3 degree weather today.....even had the window down a crack. We tough as nails here!!

Winter on the Canadian Prairie. Crisp, crunchy snow and a wind chill of -36C. Drives me nuts when the weather talking heads describe it as a "feels like" temperature. Never understood that one. Yup, it's cold. Dress for it and shaddup! Of course then I turn on an American TV station and you'd think it was the end of the world because there is a "feels like" temperature of -14 F.in Kansas. Or worse, it's 25 F in Dallas! Brings tears to my eyes. I'm sure the crowd in Minnesota care as well. Our winter weather brothers.....
First time for heated seats and heated steering wheel. I know I"m turning into a suck. But boy, it feels nice!
One good thing about these temps. The Journey stays clean.
H.P.

Glad to hear you guys are still enjoying summer. Alberta Clipper enroute! -40 here this morning with -48 windchill.

Close to 60 here today but rainy and wet. That's something in the 15's to you Canadian folks, eh?

It's coming....... Cold Canadian Air! I'm going outside to huff and puff facing south east!

Ha! Sissy eh.... Just wait. I took a look at this weeks forecast for the GTA and guess what? -15C is the high for Wed. There will be screams of pain and the "dangerous cold" will be the lead item on The National News! The headline in the Center of the Universe newspapers will be proclaiming the end of the world as we know it too!

It doesn't matter what scanner is used as long as it is OBDII compatible it will retrieve the code. I wish we could offer some better advice on what to do but with no code given I can't even direct you to a helpful link on the net. Since you are stationed out in the UK is your DJ a diesel model? Do they still have Dodge dealerships in the UK? If you are under warranty then you will need to contact the dealer and arrange for it to be towed....at their expense if new.

Link to code readers: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_3?url=search-alias%3Dautomotive&field-keywords=obd+ii+scanner&sprefix=obd%2Caps%2C211

This is an indication that it is in "limp mode". Get that baby to a Mopar Dealer pronto.

Amazon has plenty of code readers at cheap prices. As JKeaton mentioned Autozone & Advance Auto will scan CEL's for free and if you are in Canada the guy at Part Source said they scan CEL's for free too.
Please keep us posted on what happens as I change my oil too and want to make sure that if your issue has anything oil change related I can learn from this.
BTW welcome to the forum!!!!

Take it to any auto parts store. They will scan it for free. Buy yourself a code reader. You can get them for less than $20. Best tool you can have in your toolbox for modern day vehicles. The code will tell you exactly what's wrong.

You can always try the " disconnect the battery cable" cure. Try disconnecting the neg battery cable for about 20 mins. That should clear the codes, see if they come back. If so, time to visit the dealer, it could be something unrelated to the oil change.

Mine takes 6 as well. Every time I keep forgetting and only buy a 5qt jug and have to go back and by another quart which brings it right to the full mark. Iirc, owners manual says 6. And it's true, the days of "break in" oil that needs to be changed at 1000 miles are long gone.

No one here is a mind reader and we can only make assumptions based on the info provided. Perhaps if you had been more detailed In your first post on this forum we could skip the obvious dumb questions. Now that we know you did the oil change correctly, what is this "engine protection mode" you speak of? What are the warning lights displayed? If the check engine light is on, have you scanned for the codes?

I didn't mean to imply you were not competent. I was only offering a suggestion on your post. Did you ever get interrupted in the middle of something and miss the obvious? It's happened to me, but maybe I'm incompetent! Who knows? Maybe you knocked a wire off reaching for the filter, removing something, etc. good luck.
Ps: my V6 takes 5 1/2 quarts to the top of the fill line on the stick.

I'll tape it to the inside of the window. If he can read it, no need to roll down the window and ask him what he wants!

Indiana has a lot of stupid laws concerning cars/trucks, but I highly doubt that they are all enforced. I'm still considering the tint.
