Oil loss
Hello I’m a new member to the page. I have a 2004 dodge with a 5.7 Hemi magnum in it. I don’t have any oil leaks or loss of oil. But for the past year now I’ve been burning oil like crazy. About every 4K miles my “check gauges” light come on and I have no oil. I ran a compression test on my truck and it came back fine. With no loss of pressure. But I don’t know what else it could be other then my gaskets or seals. If anyone knows what is possibly could be or any thought please help. It burns fuel in idle and when I step on it you can see the white smoke from me burning oil. Thank you

Then you need to find out where it's going.
Seal off the PCV system. (tape over the hole where the valve itself goes, and plug the hose that goes into the valve cover on the opposite side.) Take off the oil fill cap. Start the engine. Put your hand over the oil fill, you should feel a breeze coming OUT. If you don't, likely bad intake gaskets.
