#12
#13
I agree that a quart per thousand miles is excessive, especially if it comes on quickly. I have 90K and change my oil before it's down a quart, between 5000 and 6000 miles. Chrysler states that 1 quart/2000 miles for the first 50,000 miles is acceptible and then it is acceptible to got to s**t, quart/750 miles. Below is the current TSB form Jeep, but it is the same across all product lines
