Thank you fellas! This is why I love my Jeep family! I will get a PVC valve tonite and put it in. We will see if that works. I don't think my warranty is still good I need to look into it. I just hope I don't have to take it in to be fixed. I have read the threads about dealings with Chrysler....

Heavier oil like 10-30,10-40 or 15-40 will help nearly stop oil lose.Been running 15-40 for 5 years no oil lose between oil changes.There is many threads on this subject

It is probably burning the oil, just not so much that it is smoking (that will happen when you have to add a quart a week); that's normal. It's not unusual to burn a 1qt in every 6K miles. Chrysler actually says 1qt/1000 mi is acceptable (way too much for me). I've got 96K on my 2007 & it is now burning about 1qt/3K miles - about normal for an engine with that much mileage.

Track the oil consumption. If it's more than 1qt/3K & you are still under warranty, you might be able to get the dealer to check your rings (compression). If you are out of warranty go with a heavier oil.

Most important - check your dip stick at least every other fill-up (if not every fill-up). A quart low - no problem; 2qt low a bit worrisome; 4qt low - I'm amazed you didn't lock it up!

39k miles on my 09 and no oil consumption issues.

Replace the PCV as others have mentioned, it's a cheap and easy repair.

I always use 87, anything more is a waste of coin. The engine is engineered to run on certain octanes, newer cars will even compensate for lower octanes at reduced performance but my ultimate driving machine gets 92 and my Jeep always gets 97.

I did notice cheap gas made one of my cars stall with 87... it also gave me poor gas mileage so I only use quality gas now.

I've been using 10w30 since I bought mine 2 years ago. I've never had a burning, leaking, puttering, etc problem. Just my 2 cents.

I ran 5w-20 Mobil 1 and it burned some.. Switched to 5w-30 Mobil 1 and it burns much less.
