sounds like you went threw 6 quarts of oil in less then 5k miles, I would push dodge for a new motor, something doesn't add up, no car should ever go threw that much oil

 

You would think gobs of blue smoke with that amount.

 

You're not leaving a huge puddle in the drive right? Lots of time in stop and go? what was the reason for 4.5 hours? That's freaking ridiculous.

You said car was "very hot" when the MIL illuminated. How hot? Did you look at the gauges for oil and coolant temp? Who did oil changes? What oil used?

Let us know what "engineer"says.

This is a lot of oil. Keep us posted, I am curious to hear what the problem is.

 

Oil should be pouring out the exhaust at that rate. How's the oil pressure when you get the car back? That will tell you something about engine damage. You should also get the oil tested. Keep us up to date. Good Luck.

 

NOT NORMAL...mine does not use any, most do not burn or use any but some do...but not as much as yours! Dealer should have never let it go to the point where you got codes like that!

 

Same problem here...any update?

Not to hijack, but how the hell dose Dodge send you an email saying something is wrong with your car? How do I sign up?

 

It comes in the vehicle health report through UConnect. I get them occasionally.

Uconnect - it's KGB tied right into the car. I find it pretty worthless so far (they'll send a health update report that mentions a tire being low on some day weeks in the past - thanks for that). Personally, I'd rather not have them snooping around inside the car. (see other posts on this subject)

 

Any word on the oil consumption?

 

I am not shocked by that oil consumption every corvette I owned from 93 -2004 burned quart of oil in 100 miles if I hot rod dead it had friend with Z06 that would use two in 100 miles,Mercedes friend used quart every 1000 from new.my dodges never used oil and my cat has not either.wish you luck on finding source of problem.

 

That is some crazy oil consumption...yikes. I never had a car that extreme. Hope the OP gets some logical/reasonable answers regarding his situation. That would be unacceptable to me...I can tolarate some oil consumption but not on that scale.

 

I have never experienced oil consumption in any car I've owned, except a 1981 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am, and then it was only minimal. I don't get this kind of thing.

 

Sounds like valve seals to me.

 

OP,


Have them hook a pod up to it and check for mis. I bet they find it, maybe low, but I bet its there. Next have the plugs checked. They swapped one head on mine that looked NASTY. Motor still eating oil. At least your dealer started to look at it before 7500 miles, I had to put miles on just to get it looked at.

They even swapped all the plugs before doing the head.


Here is one(1) of my heads after it was pulled.

 

Now that is ridiculous. Where the hell is QC in Mexico? But see, that's what I've complained about before. This whole off shoring deal requires higher failure rates, and the businesses will accept that because the huge savings they get in Canada Mexico and China don't result in reduced prices to the customers, nearly all of it translates into more profit for the company. They'll put up with more customers having massive failures and just eat the bad PR and customer frustration because we are a captive market.

Now that is funny

 

Did replacing the PCV valve fix the issue? Mine went through 3-4 quarts every 2k miles until 6500 miles when they decided to run an oil consumption diagnostic and told me the same. Said replacing the PCV should correct the issue

 

These dealers reading out the FCA bullsh*t manual or what?

Clogged PCV will not burn oil if any at ALL!

Valve seals.

 

I had the same issue, service department told me the same. Except there explanation was the opposite, it was apparently in a position that allowed my vehicle to burn through oil, i really dont know but it was replaced and that was supposed to solve the issue.

 

The Mexicans work for 8 dollars a day! You think they give a Rats Ass what they send us? It’s ok ****** do it later! Lol

 

Bow, I wasn't implying that you guys are living it up, my friend. Just saying that for the companies involved that is a plus for them versus the US. In the end, it's always the little guy who pays.

 

Soooooo did anyone get an answer if replacing the pcv valve fixed this issue?
