Yeah, I am not real familiar with the 3.7 engines.... if there is an oil to water cooler on it, that would be my first suspect.

3.6's have an oil cooler, sounds like you're getting some failure there.

Maybe some one now if ther was a problem with cilinder head gaskets on 3.6 engines on later models. I read that was some problem but on early model 2012-2014

Headgaskets would allow coolant into the oil, not the other way around.

Default 3.6 Pentastar oil cooler failure

Generally the oil cooler is the culprit when oil is mixing with coolant. When you have 60psi oil and 15 psi coolant the oil can push into the cooling system. These coolers are also known for external oil and coolant leaks on these engines. 200k miles on the wife's jeep and this will be the 3rd one . Hope this helps
