Noises problem
1994 Chrysler Concorde Four Wheel Drive Automatic 180, 00 miles

There is a new loud noise that just started today. I noticed the oil light had come on so I put 6 quarts of oil in the car. Now the noise is getting louder! The noise seems to be around the belts or maybe right behind them. I need to be able to drive in miami. Please, HELP!

Depending on the engine size, they only hold 4.5 or 5 quarts of oil. Overfilling can be just as harmful as letting it run low. The spinning crankshaft will whip up the oil and introduce air bubbles which prevent the oil from isolating moving parts from each other. Please tell me you didn't check it while the engine was running!

If there was no oil showing on the dipstick after the engine had been off for a few minutes, suspect serious damage to the crankshaft, connecting rods, and their bearings. Adding oil after the damage is done is too late. There are other things that can make loud noises that are not always serious. Have a mechanic look at it, and have the excess oil drained out, or have a regular oil and filter change performed.

Thanks, doc! We drained the oil but the noise is still there and it has no power to drive after 10 minutes. Gonna take it for an oil/filter change to see if it helps.
