My 2000 1500 (5.9 4x4) was down 3 quarts of oil when I checked it 2 days ago.There was no oil on the dip stick at all.last time I checked it was in October when I changed the oil and I filled it all the way to the fill line.My truck doesn't have any leaks .I don't see any smoke when I drive but I'm guessing some how my truck maybe burning the oil?My truck has low miles for the year about 98k but im guessing than doesn't really mater.lucky for me I checked it when I did or my engine would of seized up.is there anything I should check to find out where all my oils going?I'm going to e checking my oil every week from now on.Any info will help thanks.

 

is this a joke?
if not - fix you leaking plenum.

Don't think he is joking... I would look though that thread and at least rule out if it is coming from the plenum plate. Take off the air filter box and look through the throttle body. If you see oil pooling in there, that is where your oil is going...

replace you pvc valve first... oil in the intake can also come from blowby from worn rings...check your compression.... or tear into it assuming its the plenum gasket... there are plenty of people who changed it with aftermaket aluminum plates only only to find oil still pooling up in the intake... also if you look at the plenum pics thread you will see some have pulled theirs apart for nothing as the original gasket was holding up fine...
Yes its a good possibility it may be a bad gasket (if you replace it get the aluminum plate which is thicker or use washers on the plenum plate bolts as dodge admitted the bolts often bottom out in the manifold before sandwiching the plate and gasket with enough pressure to hold things properly),
there's also a good possibility it oil froma bad pvc valve or blowby from a worn engine...

 

Most likely not a joke. Just a result of NOT reading the first, in your face sticky , right on top of the forum. Kinda hard to miss I'd say. Of course one would never see if they don't also read the rules.

 

No this is not a joke my truck really had no oil on the stick.Ill check the link posted above thanks.
