I CHECKED MY OIL BEFORE LEAVING ON A 3 HR TRIP THIS PAST WEEKEND, BECAUSE I NOTICE THAT CENTRIPETAL FORCE WAS CAUSING MY OIL LIGHT LIGHT TO DING. I FIGURED IT MAY NEED TO BE TOPPED OFF. I CHECKED IT 3 TIMES TO BE SURE, AND THE DIPSTICK SHOWED I WAS AT THE MAX FILL LINE. WHEN THE ENGINE HAD OVERDRIVE ENGAGED, IT SUDDENLY DISENGAGED, LOSING ALL POWER. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART SOUNDED AS IF THE ENGINE WAS SEIZED UP. I TRIED TO ROLL IT TO DISENGAGE, NO JOY. HAD IT TOWED TO MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPT (110 MILES) AND THEY TOLD ME THE ENGINE WAS BONE DRY. CAN I SUSPECT THIS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH OIL SLUDGE, AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED WITH THE 2.7 LITER ENGINES?
