2010 Wrangler Unlimted. Just like others some of the other posts. I had to add four or five quarts (pretty sure it was 5) of oil between oil changes after just a flicker of a warning light came on. There was no oil on the stick. The warning light was never on long enough to read it. Thought I was an idiot. Thought that will not happen again. Then this week, checked the oil, none on the stick. Added three quarts. I have two months left in my warranty.

My wrangler unlimited is 2009 and I figure it eats easily eats a quart or more every 1000 miles. Nothing underneath and the plugs show no sign of burning it; the oil seems to disappear.

I own a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Sport. I have had problems with the oil burning since I bought it new. Last week my engine threw a rod. The engine is toast with 49k miles. Im waiting to hear from Chrysler if they will cover. I have continued routine maintenance on the vehicle and there is no reason this shouldn't be under warranty.

oil consumption more than 1q/1000mil

Same issue. Chrysler states this is normal I had a full oil consumption report done over period of 4 months. Unacceptable, especially because after pcv valve changed problem was fixed for about another oil change interval then started again.

Ingrid Avant
Absolutely sucks. I have a 2011 wrangler. About several months ago I was visiting my daughter in Philadelphia, I live in Elmwood Park, N.J. I figured let me check the oil because I was do for an oil change when I got back. Lo and behold the dipstick was dry as a bone yet no oil light came on telling me I needed 2 quarts of oil.I put it in and when I went for oil change I mentioned it to the dealership. They said it might burn a little oil. Yeah ok I said I'll. Keep an eye on it. As I am writing this to you from my phone I stopped to get windshield fluid, so I checked the status of my oil and guess what no oil on my dipstick. I am currently due for an oil change. Still no light comes on. WTF. THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS! I have had this jeep for almost 2 years and I have 41593 miles on it.Yes I will sign your petition. I hope this works!!

Definitely never experienced this type of oil consumption with any other vehicle I've ever owned except for an old '63 Chevy with a set of bad rings. A quart per 1000 miles isn't acceptable and not very economical..

i own a 2009 jk sahara. went to change the oil today and only 2 quarts in there. always use synthetic. have around 79,000 miles. and go about 5000 between changes with the synthetic.

My jeep uses at least 3quarts of oil or more between oil changes. It has done so since the very first day I've owned it. I think Chrysler should stop ripping people off 30 plus thousand dollars and telling people its normal . I know for a fact it is not normal.

I am first owner having bought my 2008 jeep rubicon new in 2008. With a bit over 30,000 miles on it, the engine light came on one day at which point I checked the oil which wasn't due for a change and I discovered that the oil was at a dangerously low level. I can't sell it because I don't want to pass it on to someone else without disclosing the fact and noone would buy it from me if I did disclose the fact that it burns oil at approximately 1 qt every few hundred miles. The local dealership of course denies ownership of the problem. A definite love/hate relationship with this vehicle and with each passing month I love to hate the vehicle and Chryslers crooked corporate customer lack of regard even more.

I have a 2011 sahara w 62k and engine blew. Was told I spun a bearing due to lack of oil then was told there was oil consumption issue. Dip stick read full and no oil lt came on. was told the oil lt wouldn't come on b/c it was the bottom of the block that was hot. That doesn't make sense. Thats a defect. Dealership 1st lied and said claim was denied . I called my warranty co they stated no claim was ever filed. When a rep supposedly came down after 19 days. They denied the claim. After filing a complaint it round and round with no resolution. I'm in.

Sean Murphy
Yes, I burn ~2.5 quarts of synthetic oil before I hit 5000 miles. At $10 a quart that's around $500 of oil that pumped out my exhaust system into the environment. Also I've had to replace all my o2 sensors cause because they get damage from all the blow by oil that exits though the exhaust. With four sensors to replace at $45 bucks each that's another $180 in part not counting labor and the loss of fuel mileage due to the o2 sensor not supplying the correct fuel mixture, which causes poor fuel economy.
Oil burning motors; possible cause identified?
Obviously there's been dozens of threads & hundreds of posts her regarding the propensity of a good number of these 3.8L V6 motors to consume large quantities of oil, often leading to dry sumps & spun bearings, and a lot of conjecture as to the root cause; rings installed incorrectly, incorrectly assembled cranks, bad drain-back valves in oil filters causing dry starts, the specified low-viscosity 5W20 oil not being up to the job with loss of film strength resulting in damaged bearing surfaces, etc.
There was a discussion about this on one of the local forums where I am & one of the members, who is a mechanic at one of the Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealerships here, chimed in about something I had not heard before. Apparently there was a known quantity of motors produced in '07 & early '08 that, due to a fault in the manufacturing processes at the engine plant, resulted in the blocks being bored & honed incorrectly resulting in one or more cylinders in the block being noticeably out-of-round.
He stressed that the fault was limited to a small number of production runs and the number of motors affected would be statistically small compared to the total quantity of these blocks produced, however he has personally seen two of them go through his shop since the JK was introduced here 4 years ago. The symptoms of these motors sounded all too familiar; higher than normal oil consumption from new, gradually getting worse and

TSB - 3.8L Engine Oil Seepage Due To Front Timing Cover Surface Porosity
November 07th, 2007 | Category: Engine TSB, Jeep JK TSB & Recalls
NUMBER: 09-008-07
GROUP: Engine
DATE: November 07, 2007
SUBJECT:
3.8L Engine Oil Seepage Due To Front Timing Cover Surface Porosity
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves the replacement of the 3.8L engine timing cover.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The customer may experience oil seepage from the engine. The oil seepage may be due to surface porosity in the aluminum material used to make the engine timing cover. This surface porosity is located on the surface that mates to the engine block.
The source of the oil seepage may be misdiagnosed. The following are areas where the engine oil seepage may be noticed due to the timing cover porosity:
a). Timing Cover - The seepage may appear as a gasket leak between the cover and the engine block.
b). Oil Filter- The timing cover porosity may lead to an oil seepage at the oil filter or immediate area of the oil filter. The technician may believe that the oil filter is at fault.
c). Unused Oil Filter Adapter Boss - Oil may seep along an unused open oil galley and display at the face of the unused oil filter adapter boss. The adapter boss is on the lower left side of the engine.
d). Oil Pan - The technician may believe that the oil pan gasket is at fault.
e). Rear Seal Carrier - The oil may seep along an unused open oil galley and display in the area of the rear crankshaft seal carrier. The technician may believe that the rear crankshaft seal is at fault.
f). Front Crankshaft Seal - The porosity in the timing cover above or around the front crankshaft seal may cause the technician to believe that the front crankshaft seal is at fault.

I have a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport with 48,960 miles. I'm consuming 4 quarts between oil changes. I run Royal Purple full synthetic 5W20 and K&N filter.

This just shows how poor quality Chrysler is and will not fix the issue, but expects the customer to pay to bandaid the issue.

2010 Wrangler started burning over 2 qts every 1,000 miles. Dealership performed the 3 part oil consumption test (which they screwed up the 2nd portion because of complete incompetence, informed me it was my PCV valve that was partially clogged. Tried to charge me $80 for an air filter and PCV valve, which I laughed at. I changed it myself, changed the oil and filter myself and after 1,000 miles there was barely any oil on the dipstick. Took it back to the dealership and they put on my receipt it burned only a quart to hide the issue and refuses to admit there is anything wrong. Chrysler sucks! Powertrain warranty is up in March of 2016 so I see the dealership just continue to blow smoke instead of fixing the damn problem!

My 2011 wrangler unlimited burns at least a quart to quart and a half between oil changes. It's quite annoying it needs to be addressed

Rebuilt the engine on my 2007 sahara unlimited at 95000 miles now 60000 more and I'm doing it again. This is my 6th jeep wrangler and this has been by far the worst vehicle I have ever owned. I have a 2003 Sahara with 199000 miles and have only had to replace the starter. The 4.0l is far superior.

2008 Rubicon 1-2 between 3,0000 mile oil changes no leaks. Also told it was normal until damages engine and then probably be told it voids lifetime power train warranty which is also a joke.

Just paid off my 2010 sahara warranty is over. Was 4 quarts low. Did not even show up on stick. Engine light went on. Cracked exhaust manifold dealer fixed that and 70,000 mile service etc paid 3100 bucks just picked it up. Drove 2 blocks engine light went on again. Turned around and took it back. Waiting to hear what it needs again.Very bummed. Dont have any more cash.after reading the forums i see im not the only one with similar issues with my jeep.

My question is has anybody had luck with a lawyer or a way to pursue Chrysler (FCA) about these issues. The petition is great if we can actually make something of this.
I have an 08 sahara jk. The first motor went at 48k miles total loss. I change oil every 3k miles and it still was not enough. Then at 94k miles the tranny went which was related to the engine issues and then the 2motor at 98k miles. This jeep is a daily driver never offroaded, well taken care of and the only reason i held onto it was due to the lifetime warranty. Well at 150k miles the oil livht came on and before i could even think about it the jeep shut off at 45mph. No steering, brakes, etc. when i restarted sounded like rocks in the motor hence he third motor in this jeep.
Now Chrysler (FCA) will not honor my lifetime warranty due to a loophole they say i didnt have my 5year inspection. Meanwhile it has been in a jeep dealership shop for a total rebuild twice in the first 5years and the dealership says they do an inspection everytime but that will not satisfy Chrysler (FCA). So i now have a jeep worth nothing.
This vehicle has been nothing but a problem since day one. I have had numerous computer issues, brake issues and motor issues.
I am very serious about a lawyer who may be able to handle this cause it will not fall under lemon law due to age. So there has to be a different approach. Chysler (FCA) has ruined the jeep brand name and does not care about the consumer in anyway and if u remember they were the first auto company to step up and ask for a bailout during the year this vehicle was made. Everyone reading this was a taxpayer who helped to keep this company alive. Only to be screwed over with product liability, product defects, breach of warranty issues as well as severe safety issues related to these motor problems. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou.

I can't believe this engine has not been recalled yet! If anyone is interested in seriously joining a class action lawsuit please contact me at 443-375-8627! My husband purchased our 2011 jeep unlimted Sahara in December of 2010. He gave it to me as a Christmas gift! I was so excited I always wanted a jeep! I don't blame him, but it was the worse decision he ever made! The first engine went up at 56,000 miles. There was a broken rod baring and pieces of that metal ended up in the oil pan! We had a 100,000 mile warranty so it was covered. We chalked it up to bad luck! The jeep just hit 102,000 miles (46,000 miles on the new engine). I heard the same knocking noise, dropped it at the dealership and sure enough, same exact issue and needs a brand new engine! I contacted Chrysler because even though our original warranty was expired by 2,000 miles I felt like the cost should be covered by chrysler considering the engine only had 46,000 miles on it!! I was told that the warranty is over no matter what at 100,000 miles even if the engine was replaced by the dealership! They finally came back after a week and a half of me calling and complaining with an offer of $3500 towards the total of $6500! Why should I have to pay a dime towards a bad motor that replaced another bad motor! The dealership even recommend that it be covered, as there was absolutely no sign of neglect on my part either time! I lost my job due to being without a vehicle for over a week! I was told by Chrysler that I should be grateful they even offered me anything towards the repair cost... I should be grateful that I need to pay $3,000 and lost a great job to due a faulty engine that should have been recalled years ago!? Worst customer service!! As of now chrysler has told me I have 30 days to accept their offer of paying a little more than half. I will absolutely not pay anything that has happened at no fault of mine! So the jeep will just sit at the dealership for now! Not sure what to do next, but am

My 2011 has 43,459 miles and it has been using oil since i bought new.
At first i thought the rings needed time to set and seal but after 10000 miles my worst fears were realized. I called the warranty office moPar protection and they stated coverage good for 60,000 miles.
I took jeep to dick hannah dealer they stated that it is normal but I know
Better from being a self taught auto mechanic for 35 years now and
I rebuilt many engines and know . Not boasting here but the dealer did nothing to help fix anything except deceive me and put a dye in the oil which will after i drive 500 miles and bring back they will inspect for leaks! One advisor told me they performed multiple consumption tests and all they did was top off oil and add dye to it. I previosley requested them to do a leakdown compression test because i know engines ang how to test them too but they did not do that test either. Well see what what they say when i take it back . I took Photo of oil level same day i got back from dealer and it was over filled by about 3/4 of a quart not sure why! Sent picture to service advisor and to compare to the photo they took which i had a hard time viewing oil on the dipstick! I am considering taking to a small certified shoP here to have them perform an independent leakdown engine evaluation test and bringing it with me

First time I notice something is that the low oil warning or oil pressure light would only go on during a turn really quick. All I heard was a ding until I finally saw the light as well. Was 5 quarts low and under 3k miles on an oil change. Still losing oil. Dealer says the amount I lose by their consumption test is normal. Losing a quart in a 1k miles isn't normal. That's something wrong.
Richard rakow
My wrangler has used oil since I have owned it. Was just at dealership about a pinging noise which he said was normal for the mileage 90,000. Also asked about it consuming oil and he told me 1qt per 800-1000 miles is normal. I personally do not think this is normal.

I just found out today after jeep doing an oil consumption test that I burned through over a quart in 1000 miles. I am having issues with the extended warrenty company to pay for repairs such as lifters, camshaft, manifold, rear main, etc. this truly is unbelievable that because this motor is crap, we as the purchaser have to eat the cost of repairs. If they do not pay for my repairs, I will be filing a class action against Chrysler and my warrenty company.

2010 Jeep Wrangler shouldn't be burning oil
Altamira Hancock
I owned a 2007 jeep wrangler and was constantly taking care of the oil. My jeep eventually stopped working all together and I had to sell it. It was my only means of transportation. I loved my jeep very much and hated parting with it. I know the engine block blew with no waning light. I feel it was oil related. Also, I had many recalls on my jeep that I felt was the same recall (as to not fix the problem) cruise control went out. Air bag lights came on and off. I was putting so much money into my jeep on these issues. I also was fixing the death wobble that never went away even after replacing the entire under part of the front end. Please help me get this resolved I want to own another jeep but cant due to my credit being destroyed in order to keep my jeep running.

2011 Jeep Wrangler that I owned for maybe 35 days and the engine failed. Oil light turned on and not even 5 seconds later the engine began knocking and left me no choice but to replace the engine which cost me $4,000 out of pocket and dealer wouldn't do anything about it since it past the "30 day" warranty. Jeep had maybe 65,000-70,000 miles when this happened. Didn't even give me a chance to check oil bc the dash oil light came on after the damage was already done.

Guy Leslie
I average 3-4 quarts every 3000 miles - Can someone explain how that is "normal oil consumption"
I used to work at a Chrysler dealership and I remember doing consumption tests and repairing vehicle that would lose 2-3 quarts between oil changes and get Chrysler support. If I recall correctly excess loss of oil during the 3000 mile interval of 2 Q was excessive and required investigation. They either poorly designed or manufactured an engine and now ok to burn 5-7 Quarts every 6000 miles if you follow the recommended schedule. I don't I do change my oil every 3-4,000 miles and have put in up to 5 quarts in that time frame.
Although do I really need to change my oil at the current loss rate or do I keep adding forever.
5Q oil + 3500 Miles = acceptable oil consumption according to dealers and techs. I was told Chrysler wont give assistance on repairs and has made adjustments to acceptable oil consumption amounts as this issue has evolved. Chrylser / Jeep should be embarrassed and they should know - I am a 3 Chrysler home that as my vehicles age and its time to trade them it will not be for another Chrysler unless they stand up and fix their issue.

I have a 2011 Wrangler Sahara. During recent oil changes, it was noted that more oil was needed than usual. Nothing smoked, no lights came on... Nothing. Yesterday, about a minute away from home, engine started knocking. There was barely any oil when checked. Had it towed to the dealer and they just calked to tell me the engine seized while in the shop. Only has 60k miles on it. Last oil Change was 4k ago.
2010 Wrangler Unlimted. Just like others some of the other posts. I had to add four or five quarts (pretty sure it was 5) of oil between oil changes after just a flicker of a warning light came on. There was no oil on the stick. The warning light was never on long enough to read it. Thought I was an idiot. Thought that will not happen again. Then this week, checked the oil, none on the stick. Added three quarts. I have two months left in my warranty.
My wrangler unlimited is 2009 and I figure it eats easily eats a quart or more every 1000 miles. Nothing underneath and the plugs show no sign of burning it; the oil seems to disappear.

oil consumption more than 1q/1000mil
Same issue. Chrysler states this is normal I had a full oil consumption report done over period of 4 months. Unacceptable, especially because after pcv valve changed problem was fixed for about another oil change interval then started again.
I have a 2009 jeep wrangler it burns through oil monthly. I have brought it to the dealership and they tell me it's a "jeep thing"
Just spun a rod bearing because my reservoir was dry even though I added oil just last week.
09 JK burning oil excessively
Absolutely sucks. I have a 2011 wrangler. About several months ago I was visiting my daughter in Philadelphia, I live in Elmwood Park, N.J. I figured let me check the oil because I was do for an oil change when I got back. Lo and behold the dipstick was dry as a bone yet no oil light came on telling me I needed 2 quarts of oil.I put it in and when I went for oil change I mentioned it to the dealership. They said it might burn a little oil. Yeah ok I said I'll. Keep an eye on it. As I am writing this to you from my phone I stopped to get windshield fluid, so I checked the status of my oil and guess what no oil on my dipstick. I am currently due for an oil change. Still no light comes on. WTF. THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS! I have had this jeep for almost 2 years and I have 41593 miles on it.Yes I will sign your petition. I hope this works!!
Definitely never experienced this type of oil consumption with any other vehicle I've ever owned except for an old '63 Chevy with a set of bad rings. A quart per 1000 miles isn't acceptable and not very economical..
i own a 2009 jk sahara. went to change the oil today and only 2 quarts in there. always use synthetic. have around 79,000 miles. and go about 5000 between changes with the synthetic.
My jeep uses at least 3quarts of oil or more between oil changes. It has done so since the very first day I've owned it. I think Chrysler should stop ripping people off 30 plus thousand dollars and telling people its normal . I know for a fact it is not normal.
Yes, I am using a quart every 1500 to 2000 miles after an oil change.
2008 Wrangler burnt oil and fried engine at 61K miles. Never missed a scheduled oil change.
2010 Town & Country. Using 4 quarts every oil change (3 - 5kmiles). Replaced PVC, in process of conducting dealership oil consumption tests.
went to change oil and it was empty. two days later it was empty again. Changed to 5w-20 oil and it burned a lot less. I still have to check it and keep adding it I Now mechanic wants me to get a remanufactured motor. I'm hesitant to do this if it will just have the same problem
OIL CONSUMPTION
WTF is going on w my engine!?
My 2008 Wrangler 3.8 is burning oil and now I have developed a loud lifter tick! Well maintained with synthetic oil changes every 5,000 miles
I want my dealership to top off my oil as needed with no cost to me.
Oil consumption suddenly started @ 42K.
2010 JK bought in 2013 with 55,000 miles. Uses 1 qt of oil every 1000 - 1500 miles
I signed this petition last April. My '08 Wrangler now has just under 87,000 miles on it and oil consumption is now at 1 quart every 500 miles. Chrysler Corp. is sad,pathetic,shameful.
adding a quart almost every 1000 miles. It's ridiculous, it's not leaking out anywhere but it's not obviously burnt off either.
Hadn't burned a luck of oil until after my oil change at 66,000 miles.
2007 JKU using one quart every 1000 miles.
I have a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with less than 50000 miles. I'm afraid that one day my engine will blow if I forget to constantly check my engine. This is terrible to think.
Been through the $90consumption tear just to be told lifetime warranty expired due to no dealer inspection @ 5 yes been fighting this since '11
My jeep jk sport 2011 w/57000 miles uses one quart every thousand miles
I have a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Sport and going through about 5 quarts over a 4,000 mile period. Out of warranty now (52,000 miles). Love jeeps, but it's turning into a money sucker.
My 2010 just started burning oil at 1 qt per 1000 miles. whats with this?
08 Jeep Wrangler 40,000 miles. No oil in the engine. No leaks, no smoke.
2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has been using at least 1qt per 1000 miles. No leaks, no smoke and approximately 22K miles! Not impreasive.
excessive oil consumption and a host of other problems. Jeep has been at the dealership for weeks and I'm told there is a backlog for jeeps needing an engine swap u see warranty
2008 rubicon 53000 miles 1 qt. in less 1000 miles
2008 Wrangler Sahara burns oil.

My jeep is a 2008 Sahara unlimited that goes thru 3 was every 50th miles the dealership says that's acceptable
Just bought this 2011 jeep wrangler unlimited Sahara with 50k miles 7 mos ago...it's oil change at 55k...it is down 4.5 qts.....runnin on empty..scarey!!
I am first owner having bought my 2008 jeep rubicon new in 2008. With a bit over 30,000 miles on it, the engine light came on one day at which point I checked the oil which wasn't due for a change and I discovered that the oil was at a dangerously low level. I can't sell it because I don't want to pass it on to someone else without disclosing the fact and noone would buy it from me if I did disclose the fact that it burns oil at approximately 1 qt every few hundred miles. The local dealership of course denies ownership of the problem. A definite love/hate relationship with this vehicle and with each passing month I love to hate the vehicle and Chryslers crooked corporate customer lack of regard even more.
Bought a 2010 Islander and I'm burning through at least 1 qt every ~1,300 miles.
I have an 09 Sahara and I have this exact issue
My 08 JK has burned oil from day one a 1qt every 1000 to 1500 miles

My 2009 Jeep Wrangler burns a lot of oil through the summer months but not necessarily through winter.
didnt know that this would happen, almost ran my motor dry!!
2011 wrangler sport, at LEAST a quart every 1,000 miles.
I have a 2011 sahara w 62k and engine blew. Was told I spun a bearing due to lack of oil then was told there was oil consumption issue. Dip stick read full and no oil lt came on. was told the oil lt wouldn't come on b/c it was the bottom of the block that was hot. That doesn't make sense. Thats a defect. Dealership 1st lied and said claim was denied . I called my warranty co they stated no claim was ever filed. When a rep supposedly came down after 19 days. They denied the claim. After filing a complaint it round and round with no resolution. I'm in.
2012 jeep jk burns through oil .
2011 jeep wrangler unlimited with 52k miles. Consumed 12 quartz in 6k miles and found metal shavings in oil pan.
2011 wrangler unlimited with engine pinging noise in dealer for 11 weeks so far and has not even been worked on. Chrysler has no clue how to provide any customer service!
2012 JKU Rub consuming 3.5 quarts of oil every 2600 miles. Crysler basically told me this was normal and they are doing nothing. Im not an idiot and none of my many Fords ever has this problem.
2008 2 door Wrangler sucks oil like it's free!
2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport uses 1 quart every 600 miles. Not normal.
My 08 Rubicon goes thru oil like no other...this shouldn't happen.
My 2010 Jeep Wrangler has had a slow oil consumption since i bought it at 19,000 miles, but over the past 70,000 miles it has got to the point where i loose not quite a quart a week, driving about 500 miles a week. Dealership told me this is normal, but i can smell it burning when i drive, no signs of leaking, plugs are clean, rear main seal is clean, oil pan, filter, drain plug all good. I will look at my valve cover gasket this weekend, but i can't believe this is normal.
2011 Rubicon
Jeep Wrangler 2009 Jk burns qt of oil every 800 miles even replace the pcv.
My 07 burns two quarts every 1500 miles and Dodge tells me this is normal. Can't be

Joe Smith
Mine burns oil like crazy. I have a 2011 and I'm always adding oil within 1500 miles of a fresh oil change.
2011,JK SPORT 3.8, USING OVER 1 QUART EVERY 1K MILES
I have a 2011 Jeep Sport unlimited and I am down 2 quarts of oil in only 1000 miles with only 24,700 miles on the odometer. My engine is knocking and pinging so loud that heads turn while I am driving down the street. Not a good advertisement for Jeep. You would think that they would repair this issue for free, even if only for public relations, but no! This is unacceptable.
2011 JK Wrangler Unlimited Sport. I need to add oil weekly . Oil consumption got worse at around 20-30K miles. I add 1/4 to 1/2 qt every week or 2. This is unacceptable. Other than that the vehicle has been great.
2010 is lossing oil
Huge oil drinker...need to do something about it
my engine needs at least 1 quarter every 1000 miles that is ridiculous
I have a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara. I use 1 to 2 quarts(or more!) between oil changes! I now have 49k miles. As someone else commented other than that mine has been great too.
62k miles on odometer and uses 1QT in approximately 1200 miles.
1qt every 1200 miles
Yes, I burn ~2.5 quarts of synthetic oil before I hit 5000 miles. At $10 a quart that's around $500 of oil that pumped out my exhaust system into the environment. Also I've had to replace all my o2 sensors cause because they get damage from all the blow by oil that exits though the exhaust. With four sensors to replace at $45 bucks each that's another $180 in part not counting labor and the loss of fuel mileage due to the o2 sensor not supplying the correct fuel mixture, which causes poor fuel economy. Oil burning motors; possible cause identified? Obviously there's been dozens of threads & hundreds of posts her regarding the propensity of a good number of these 3.8L V6 motors to consume large quantities of oil, often leading to dry sumps & spun bearings, and a lot of conjecture as to the root cause; rings installed incorrectly, incorrectly assembled cranks, bad drain-back valves in oil filters causing dry starts, the specified low-viscosity 5W20 oil not being up to the job with loss of film strength resulting in damaged bearing surfaces, etc. There was a discussion about this on one of the local forums where I am & one of the members, who is a mechanic at one of the Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealerships here, chimed in about something I had not heard before. Apparently there was a known quantity of motors produced in '07 & early '08 that, due to a fault in the manufacturing processes at the engine plant, resulted in the blocks being bored & honed incorrectly resulting in one or more cylinders in the block being noticeably out-of-round. He stressed that the fault was limited to a small number of production runs and the number of motors affected would be statistically small compared to the total quantity of these blocks produced, however he has personally seen two of them go through his shop since the JK was introduced here 4 years ago. The symptoms of these motors sounded all too familiar; higher than normal oil consumption from new, gradually getting worse and
TSB - 3.8L Engine Oil Seepage Due To Front Timing Cover Surface Porosity November 07th, 2007 | Category: Engine TSB, Jeep JK TSB & Recalls NUMBER: 09-008-07 GROUP: Engine DATE: November 07, 2007 SUBJECT: 3.8L Engine Oil Seepage Due To Front Timing Cover Surface Porosity OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves the replacement of the 3.8L engine timing cover. SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer may experience oil seepage from the engine. The oil seepage may be due to surface porosity in the aluminum material used to make the engine timing cover. This surface porosity is located on the surface that mates to the engine block. The source of the oil seepage may be misdiagnosed. The following are areas where the engine oil seepage may be noticed due to the timing cover porosity: a). Timing Cover - The seepage may appear as a gasket leak between the cover and the engine block. b). Oil Filter- The timing cover porosity may lead to an oil seepage at the oil filter or immediate area of the oil filter. The technician may believe that the oil filter is at fault. c). Unused Oil Filter Adapter Boss - Oil may seep along an unused open oil galley and display at the face of the unused oil filter adapter boss. The adapter boss is on the lower left side of the engine. d). Oil Pan - The technician may believe that the oil pan gasket is at fault. e). Rear Seal Carrier - The oil may seep along an unused open oil galley and display in the area of the rear crankshaft seal carrier. The technician may believe that the rear crankshaft seal is at fault. f). Front Crankshaft Seal - The porosity in the timing cover above or around the front crankshaft seal may cause the technician to believe that the front crankshaft seal is at fault.

I HAD TO REPLACE MY BLOCK AT 50000 MILES BECAUSE THE OIL RAN OUT SO QUICKLY.
Bought 2008 Jeep Wrangler new from dealer.. all maintenance per spec.. Traded in 2012 due to tired of worrying about engine running out of oil.. Was adding a qt of oil every 1k miles.. Absolutely ridiculous... Never buying another jeep.. Chrysler is a joke!
Now have lifter-tick as a result and likely need new lifters, camshaft, and more, to be determined once engine is torn-down. I worried about buying American; I should have heeded my worries. Unless i get satisfaction, I will never consider purchasing a J/C/D product again and will influence all I can to do the same.
Same problem
This known issue Jeep/Chrysler refuses to take ownership. There was no "low oil" notification cause a rod to get thrown putting a hole in my JKU's engine block.
PLEASE, THIS ISSUE REALLY BOTHERS ME

Has there been any class action lawsuits filed to address this ?
i have a 2010 islander its burning 2-3 qts of oil every 3000 ive just started to keep track this is unacceptable have 40,000 on it now. Very rarely goes off road!!!!!
My car has 75,000+\- miles and my motor is using 1 quart of oil every 1,000 miles. THERE ARE NO OIL LEAKS! I feel Jeep needs to address this well known problem amongst the new Wrangler JK models.

This garbage jeep burns a quart every 600 miles. Crysler service is a joke. They told me to drive till it blows up. hope thats before my 100k warranty is up. This is ridiculous. Im suing them
I have a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport with 48,960 miles. I'm consuming 4 quarts between oil changes. I run Royal Purple full synthetic 5W20 and K&N filter. According to the dealership, the 3.8l engine is allowed to consume 1 quart per 750 miles after 50,000. This just shows how poor quality Chrysler is and will not fix the issue, but expects the customer to pay to bandaid the issue.
08 JK burns a quart every 1000 to 1500 . Synthetic makes little difference. Dealer states it normal and knows of no other issues . Second owner so Im screwed
Just started consuming oil at 98,000 told its normal

2010 Rubicon
2011 Jeep wrangler sport, has been using 1 to 1.5 qts. Of oil between changes. It started @ 24000 miles, and this is not normal. I have had Toyotas that went 280M miles and never used oil.
45k miles and notice a lot of oil "disappearing" makes me wish I had gotten a Toyota instead
2008 Rubicon. 1quart every 1000 miles currently fighting with chrysler. last chryler i ever buy. here i come G M
2008 Rubicon purchased used 6 months ago and add a quart every 800 miles. Owned a 2001 Jeep Wrangler for 14 years has 187k when I sold it and NEVER had to add any oil between oil changes. Its a shame so many people are having this problem. I took it to the dealer BCP in delaware and asked how much it would cost to repair it and they said its normal and not fixable. Shame because I love the truck.
I agree that's ridiculous. I would not have bought my jeep if I knew that at time of purchase
2011 jku
Step daughter liberty 2009 3.7 does the same thing
I own a 2011 JKU that consumes a lot of oil.
Jeep Wrangler 4door. At 1500 miles burned 1qt every 2000 miles. They said clean intakes, helped a little. 50,000 burns 1qt every 1000 miles
I think it's B.S. That my jeep burns 3 quarts of oil between a 5000 mile oil change . Chrysler should stand behind there products .
My 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited uses at least 3 quarts of oil between oil changes. There are no drops of oil on the ground and no smoke from the exhaust. The oil just disappears. It now has 86,000 thousand miles on it and I bought it new.
I have a 2011 Wrangler Unlimited Sport it's burning 6 quarts within 3k miles. Dealership doesn't seemed concerned in the least bit.
My 2011 Jeep Wrangler consuming 1 quart every 300 miles or so. 50k miles and burning this much is just unacceptable..
2011 Wrangler. Engine siezed. Jeep dealer sees no sign of oil leak. Have documented oil change 7,000 miles and within 6 months.
My vehicle was purchased two months ago and its burning 2 quarts of oil within 700 miles. The Jeep dealership is doing an oil consumption test and claims this is normal. Before the consumption test they said that my engine needed to be replaced. Next thing they recommended was the oil consumption test. This isn't normal.
2008 Jeep Rubicon 4D Unlimited. Oil consumption started at less than 18,000 miles at least 1 qrt/thousand miles. No assistance from dealer as classed as "normal". Now at 59,000 miles, it has broken rings using 1 qrt every 200 miles.. Offered less than half for replacement motor assistance from Jeep Customer Service. Just not right!
2008 2dr Wrangler X burns 1qt per 700 miles.... sad part only 66000 miles, my mechanic says the bearings are spun... The reason why they burn oil is because of the moon shaped bearing holder design
2008 wrangler sport consuming a quart every 1000 miles - just plain unacceptable
2011 anniversary edition oil loss, none on ground. Christler says normal never repaired 2016 my problem now. Same thing with leaky roof temporary fix till my problem,even had a service manager tell me " wranglers leak." Crazy.

I own a 2011 wrangler with 30,000 miles and last oil change I was almost 2 quarts low.
I've owned my 2007 Jeep Wrangler since March of 2007. It has used at least a quart of oil every 3000 sometimes more. I had all the usual tests done by the dealership and they acknowledged the oil consumption but, gave me a paper from Jeep stating that one quart every thousand miles was acceptable. I asked if the EPA would consider that ok. No comment. I was sent on my way....
In the same boat. 2011 anniversary edition
2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Owned for 1 year, self maintained, burns 1 quart of oil every 800 miles. Had 34000 miles when I purchased it, now has 42000 miles.
Tired of adding oil to my 2011 and sons 2008 never again no more Chrysler or Jeep products
Boyfriend just spoke to a mechanic and this place told him that jeep use to use 6mm rings around the piston but switched to 3mm causing the rings to stick to the piston. I have a 2010 jeep wrangler that uses at least 3 qts every 2000 miles
48,000 miles on and bought with only 17 miles on it
Burns almost all the oil everytime between my 4000 mile oil changes.
I have a 2011 Jeep Wrangler with about 60000 miles that threw a rod and engine is done. Jeep won't honor the powertrain warranty it is still under.
blown engine at 63,000 miles. dealer performs oil changes and I was still under their recommendations when engine blew and they say is from excessive oil consumption .
2007 Wrangler 3.8 burns quart every 1500 miles right on que. Ridiculous!
08 Rubicon uses a qt. every 1000 to 1500 miles always serviced on time. 59000 miles
2011 Wrangler Sport, burns about 1.5 courts every 1500-2000 miles. 63,000 miles on the odo.
2010 Wrangler started burning over 2 qts every 1,000 miles. Dealership performed the 3 part oil consumption test (which they screwed up the 2nd portion because of complete incompetence, informed me it was my PCV valve that was partially clogged. Tried to charge me $80 for an air filter and PCV valve, which I laughed at. I changed it myself, changed the oil and filter myself and after 1,000 miles there was barely any oil on the dipstick. Took it back to the dealership and they put on my receipt it burned only a quart to hide the issue and refuses to admit there is anything wrong. Chrysler sucks! Powertrain warranty is up in March of 2016 so I see the dealership just continue to blow smoke instead of fixing the damn problem!
One to two quartz between oil changed. Someone suggested switching to synthetic.
08 Wrangler x
I own 2011 wrangler...and I'm starting to have this same issue.
I have taken my jeep three times to dealer and they keep giving me excuses
I have 2011 limited and have the same issue. How do I fix this?
POS engine now with bad lifter tick.

I have 2008 Rubicon with 60k miles on it and it burns 1qt of oil per 1 k miles.
2011 Wrangler. 1 quart every 1000 miles!
My 2011 wrangler unlimited burns at least a quart to quart and a half between oil changes. It's quite annoying it needs to be addressed
I have a 2010 unlimited sport and it burns through a quart of oil every 1000 miles, with no leaks.
2010 wrangler excessive oil consumption
i need to add 1 quart every 800-1000 miles. not a leak anywhere. tried conventional, synthetic, even high mileage blend all with same results
Own 2008 Wrangler Sahara with 90K miles that lost 5 quarts in 3,000 miles. Not only unacceptable but dangerous.
Scary!!!
2010 Jeep Rubicon burns oil and has had regular on time oil changes using silicone oil. As far as I'm concerned the Jeep is a over priced piece of garbage.
My 2011 is using 2 quarts every 3000 miles.
My 2011 wrangler uses about 2 quarts between oil changes. Regular road use only.
I change my oil at the dealship faithfully every 3500 miles. My engine is always iin need of oil every 1000 miles. There is no oil leak, no smoke, and no sign of engine trouble. I am upset and I want something done about this.
2008 jk, 75,000 miles drinks about 1 qt every thousand miles with no leaks.
I have 2012 jeep jk and it's burning oil fast
Have to add oil all the time no leaks and no smoke
08 Wrangler X. had 20k when I bought it from a Jeep dealer in Philly. Has "lost" oil to the tune of nearly 2 quarts/1000miles. Now has 58k on it and still drinking!
I think this is ridiculous for a motor to use this much oil my other vehicles never had this problem
My 2011 jeeps engine blow up after the vehicle used up 5 litres of oil within the next oil change. This is totally unacceptable.
Excessive loss of oil.
My 2011 is burning oil at least a quart pee 1000 miles if not more
My 07 Jeep Wrangler has been leaking for years!! No mechanic anywhere can find the leak & Wolfchase Chrysler said it's NORMAL!! I DON'T THINK SO
2010 unlimited burning 1 qt about every 1000 miles. Total bs.
2010 wrangler with 92k when purchased used. Now has 114k. Dealership gave me the company line. A quart per 1k miles is "normal". For a chainsaw, yes. Unacceptable.
2011 wrangler unlimited burns 1 quart every 1000 miles!!!
2011 Jeep Wrangler Sahara unlimited burns 2 plus between last oil change. I'm not used to checking my oil so often and looking for low oil issues. Buying all the new cars over the years, never had this problem per oil change!
2+ qts every 3000. Outrageous.
Rebuilt the engine on my 2007 sahara unlimited at 95000 miles now 60000 more and I'm doing it again. This is my 6th jeep wrangler and this has been by far the worst vehicle I have ever owned. I have a 2003 Sahara with 199000 miles and have only had to replace the starter. The 4.0l is far superior.
2008 Rubicon 1-2 between 3,0000 mile oil changes no leaks. Also told it was normal until damages engine and then probably be told it voids lifetime power train warranty which is also a joke.
I burn 2 quarts of oil every 2000 miles. I have a 2011. My last jeep 2008 did the same. Not happy with it. I heard this is common with this engine.
i'm adding a quart every two weeks. it's gotten worse lately to. smell the burning oil smell mostly going up hills.
Just paid off my 2010 sahara warranty is over. Was 4 quarts low. Did not even show up on stick. Engine light went on. Cracked exhaust manifold dealer fixed that and 70,000 mile service etc paid 3100 bucks just picked it up. Drove 2 blocks engine light went on again. Turned around and took it back. Waiting to hear what it needs again.Very bummed. Dont have any more cash.after reading the forums i see im not the only one with similar issues with my jeep.
Excessive oil consumption
My 2007 Wrangler Rubicon uses about 1 QT every 1,500 miles. I have always been a loyal Jeep owner but the 3.8L is about to make me switch to something else. Bring back the in line 4.0 and you will see sales go through the roof! Nothing would compare!! The Virginia Jeep Girl
2011 Jeep Wrangler - burned 4 quarts of oil since last oil change. No dash lights came on, no leaks, no smoke, no warning until it was too late. Only 57k miles and motor is destroyed.
My 2010 jk jeep has no leaks but is using oil badly I would appreciate it if they did the right thing and took care of a problem I am happy that there are orthers out there not afraid to stand up against this wrongdoing
My 2008 is making the oil sheiks rich. 4lt in 5000km! dealer tells me this is normal!!!! Really!!!
I have a 2007 Jeep Wrangler that consumes a massive amount of oil even after replacing the pcv valve. It is insane..
2011 jk burns oil like crazy taking my jeep to the shop Thursday something is not right with the engine. Hopefully covered under warranty or recall!
Mine uses oil and didn't realize until I heard engine running little louder than normal. My husband checked....no leaks, does not burn, and wasn't even registering on dip stick!
My question is has anybody had luck with a lawyer or a way to pursue Chrysler (FCA) about these issues. The petition is great if we can actually make something of this. I have an 08 sahara jk. The first motor went at 48k miles total loss. I change oil every 3k miles and it still was not enough. Then at 94k miles the tranny went which was related to the engine issues and then the 2motor at 98k miles. This jeep is a daily driver never offroaded, well taken care of and the only reason i held onto it was due to the lifetime warranty. Well at 150k miles the oil livht came on and before i could even think about it the jeep shut off at 45mph. No steering, brakes, etc. when i restarted sounded like rocks in the motor hence he third motor in this jeep. Now Chrysler (FCA) will not honor my lifetime warranty due to a loophole they say i didnt have my 5year inspection. Meanwhile it has been in a jeep dealership shop for a total rebuild twice in the first 5years and the dealership says they do an inspection everytime but that will not satisfy Chrysler (FCA). So i now have a jeep worth nothing. This vehicle has been nothing but a problem since day one. I have had numerous computer issues, brake issues and motor issues. I am very serious about a lawyer who may be able to handle this cause it will not fall under lemon law due to age. So there has to be a different approach. Chysler (FCA) has ruined the jeep brand name and does not care about the consumer in anyway and if u remember they were the first auto company to step up and ask for a bailout during the year this vehicle was made. Everyone reading this was a taxpayer who helped to keep this company alive. Only to be screwed over with product liability, product defects, breach of warranty issues as well as severe safety issues related to these motor problems. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou.
2011 wrangler 43000 miles uses 3-4 quarts low at 3500 mile oil change.
My jeep wrangler 2009 2 dr uses approx 1 quart every 1000 km.
I am having the same problem.. Using synthetic oil too boot! Oil light came on dinging.. Didn't hardly have any on the dip stick.. No Leaks! just the engine using it... It's not right!
I have a 2007 Jeep Wrangler as well...same problem...I'll sign your petition
2008 jeep Wrangler...1 qt to 2 a month....local driving motor knocks, 50, 000 mile
No oil consumption between oil change until 41,000 miles. Each oil change beyond that marker the amount of consumption has increased. At 49,000 miles consumption has increased to 1.5 quarts every 1000 miles.
2 qts every 1000
please remove my name
I put the best synthetic oil on the market,in my jeep I have just over 4,000 miles on synthetic oil,and this morning I cranked the jk up and it started ticking as an owner I check my oil very frequently,because making this jeep look amazing is a passion of mine,so I turned the engine off and 1st thing check the oil and none on the dip stick,I have no leaks,it doesn't smoke I have no signs of consumption...Idk I'm shocked to say the least and if this is jeep issue they should stand behind their product cause there sure proud of the prices on them when u buy them,smh
My jeep burns oil without reason. No leaks, just burns too much oil. Only 40k miles
I have a 2011 jeep jk sport. Over the past year i have noticed that my oil levels seem low. I have to check my oil about every 2nd fuel up to keep the oil levels where they belong. I love jeeps but am ready to get rid of this one. Chrysler needs to fix this problem and give a recall. This is complete BS
Since new, add oil consistently at lesst 1 quart per 1k! Ready for a new motor, will never buy a new jeep again
2010 Wrangler Unlimited, 68000 miles, using a qt every 1k miles, no leaks, no smoke
i just got my 2011 jeep sahara 4 doors with 39 thousand miles 2 year stended warranty my first oil chang notice there is like tho quarts of oil on the motor will the dealer warranty this just got it two months ago preown ?
Oil is changed by dealer every 3000 miles, burning thru 1.5 quarts 1000 miles after change!
Burns oil now starting to knock
I have a 2008 jeep wrangler that uses 1 quart of oil every 800 to 1000 miles driven
2010 wrangle just took in for oil change and the oil was so low it was not touching the dip stick. Only have 54,00 miles on the Jeep
I can't believe this engine has not been recalled yet! If anyone is interested in seriously joining a class action lawsuit please contact me at 443-375-8627! My husband purchased our 2011 jeep unlimted Sahara in December of 2010. He gave it to me as a Christmas gift! I was so excited I always wanted a jeep! I don't blame him, but it was the worse decision he ever made! The first engine went up at 56,000 miles. There was a broken rod baring and pieces of that metal ended up in the oil pan! We had a 100,000 mile warranty so it was covered. We chalked it up to bad luck! The jeep just hit 102,000 miles (46,000 miles on the new engine). I heard the same knocking noise, dropped it at the dealership and sure enough, same exact issue and needs a brand new engine! I contacted Chrysler because even though our original warranty was expired by 2,000 miles I felt like the cost should be covered by chrysler considering the engine only had 46,000 miles on it!! I was told that the warranty is over no matter what at 100,000 miles even if the engine was replaced by the dealership! They finally came back after a week and a half of me calling and complaining with an offer of $3500 towards the total of $6500! Why should I have to pay a dime towards a bad motor that replaced another bad motor! The dealership even recommend that it be covered, as there was absolutely no sign of neglect on my part either time! I lost my job due to being without a vehicle for over a week! I was told by Chrysler that I should be grateful they even offered me anything towards the repair cost... I should be grateful that I need to pay $3,000 and lost a great job to due a faulty engine that should have been recalled years ago!? Worst customer service!! As of now chrysler has told me I have 30 days to accept their offer of paying a little more than half. I will absolutely not pay anything that has happened at no fault of mine! So the jeep will just sit at the dealership for now! Not sure what to do next, but am
I just bought a 2011 sport, did my first oil change after 4,800 miles....there was 1 quart that drained out.....ONE FRIGGIN QUART!!! No low oil light, no warning light, nothing.....going to the dealer today.
i have 2007 jeep burning oil
I just bought my 2008 jeep January2016. It had 165000 on it.Had to change my oil at 167500 before my 3000 miles because there was no oil on dip stick. Now I have 169500 and no oil again on dip stick. No leaks on engine.
2011 jeep wrangler jk uses a quart of oil within at least 1200 miles or less owned a lot of cars in my life this is ridiculous. jeep has less than 70,000 miles on it and faithfully change the oil every 4000 miles with mobile one synthetic extended
burning 1 litre of oil every 650-700 kilometers.
Bought a used 2011 JK It has about 65,000 miles on it. Change oil every 3,000 miles. My dad checked the oil one Saturday and it was down over a quart and I had just had the oil changed. Burning at least 1 quart every 1,ooo miles. Will be checking more often now that I know.
I have a 2011 jeep wrangler. 2015 had to have the motor replaced due to engine damage, lack of oil. Less than 1 year jeep is leaking oil took it to the dealer and told I have a pours engine block and will need to be replaced again.
Just heard back from the dealer. They are replacing my motor again. 2011 and now going to be on my 3rd motor. I'll be trading this POS in when I get it back!
This IS UNACCEPTABLE! Always running the risk of ruining the engine.
2011 Wrangler Unlimited Sahara consuming approximately 1 qt per 1000 miles. I consider this high oil consumption.
Started using excessive oil around 45000 miles. Dry Compression test for all cylinders reads between 156-160 psi and plugs condition were not black or sooty.
I have also had to replace the EGR Valve 3 times now...since 2009. The Jeep has less than 55,000 miles...
Jeep burned 4 quarts in 3800 miles engine is toast
Yes I have a 2010 JK I also have to add in oil before my oil changes
in 2013 we bought a 2008 jk with 9,000 miles on it . it has 57,000 on it now and uses 1 1/2 to 2 qts between 3000 mile oil changes. Already did the whole pcv deal. Intake has oil all over the inside
My 2008 jk burns all its oil in 2500 miles. That is not okay.
2010 Sahara - same experience. Almost bone dry during last oil change . Mechanic amazed I it was still running and no warning lights.
2011 Sahara consuming 1 quart every 750-1000 miles. This is crazy!
I have to add 3 quarts of oil in between oil changes.
2011 JKU Started consuming a qt. of oil every 3 weeks at 65,ooo miles, before that no oil consumption, ridiculous for a engine to burn that much oil these days
Fix it
It's bul crap we have to do this people
First vehicle in a long time I have had to check the oil every single week. Reminds me of my 73 Blazer when I was teenager. Seems like all I really have to do is change the filter regularly.
My 2011 has 43,459 miles and it has been using oil since i bought new. At first i thought the rings needed time to set and seal but after 10000 miles my worst fears were realized. I called the warranty office moPar protection and they stated coverage good for 60,000 miles. I took jeep to dick hannah dealer they stated that it is normal but I know Better from being a self taught auto mechanic for 35 years now and I rebuilt many engines and know . Not boasting here but the dealer did nothing to help fix anything except deceive me and put a dye in the oil which will after i drive 500 miles and bring back they will inspect for leaks! One advisor told me they performed multiple consumption tests and all they did was top off oil and add dye to it. I previosley requested them to do a leakdown compression test because i know engines ang how to test them too but they did not do that test either. Well see what what they say when i take it back . I took Photo of oil level same day i got back from dealer and it was over filled by about 3/4 of a quart not sure why! Sent picture to service advisor and to compare to the photo they took which i had a hard time viewing oil on the dipstick! I am considering taking to a small certified shoP here to have them perform an independent leakdown engine evaluation test and bringing it with me
2009 Jeep JK Wrangler easily takes a quart within 1500 miles of oil change.
My jk 2008 consume 5qt of oil in 2000 miles!!!
2011 Jeep Wrangler burns at least a one quart every 1000 miles
I now have 70K on my 2009. I had the oil changed 3 months ago and on a recent trip, I find out I was several quarts low.
Yes mine consumes 3qt or more every 3000. 2010 jk. 68000 mile's on it. Been doing it since I bought it.
I went to take my 2011 Jeep Wrangler in for an oil change and was told it was a quart low. Since the oil change, it has lost another quart. No leaks, so it must be burning the oil.
Mine only has 109 k miles and it uses way too much oil for an engine that is still young.
First time I notice something is that the low oil warning or oil pressure light would only go on during a turn really quick. All I heard was a ding until I finally saw the light as well. Was 5 quarts low and under 3k miles on an oil change. Still losing oil. Dealer says the amount I lose by their consumption test is normal. Losing a quart in a 1k miles isn't normal. That's something wrong.
My wrangler has used oil since I have owned it. Was just at dealership about a pinging noise which he said was normal for the mileage 90,000. Also asked about it consuming oil and he told me 1qt per 800-1000 miles is normal. I personally do not think this is normal.
2009 Jeep Wrangler unlimited 3.8 liter. 120,000. Eats 1/2 quart of oil a week. Drive 100 miles a week. Horrible!
2012 that eats 2 quarts every 750 miles. Not cool
Uses at least 2 quarts every 1000 miles and has since it was new. Told in the beginning is was normal part of break in. 2011 Wrangler 62k miles
2009 Jeep wrangler just bought from a couple and were going thru some oil.
2008 JK, uses oil like I drink water on a hot day. I'm constantly adding a quart or more.
5 quarts at 4k.
I just bought my 2008 wrangler unlimited with 48k miles on it. I haven't even reached the 3000 miles that you would normally change your engine oil and the buzzer went off indicated low oil. I pulled over and checked the dipstick and it was bone dry. Then I get to reading and see that Chrysler considers this normal, I am beyond pissed!!!!

I have a 2011 with 58,000 on the 3.8 litre and it would seemingly go through about a quart every thousand miles and then on a trip cross town. Engine started making a noise like it just spun a bearing. Checked after stopping and thre was still oil in the safe zone of the dipstick.
Mine is a 2013 jk using a quart every 200 miles with 30k on motor
2011 WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA BURNS OVER A QT. PER 1000 MILES WITH ONLY 53K ON ENGINE---WHAT THE HELL?
Uses about a quart every 1000 miles
08 Rubicon 55k miles uses a 1/4 quart every fill up. Conventional oil seems to due slightly better than synthetic for less consumption.
I have been losing oil in my JK since 65K miles. In the process of trying to get it taken care of.
My 09 Wranger Unlimited X burns a little over a quart every thousand (1000) miles. Dealership even tried added an extra quart and put 5w-30 prior to test. I checked it before I left and they let me leave the lot with it like that.
Jeep wrangler 2013 86k miles
Burns too much.
2008 rubicon 70k synthetic oil every 3000 miles . Now burning 1 quart 1000 miles. Lifetime drivetrain warranty dealer says oil consumption not covered.
2008 JK Wrangler 69k burns at least 1 qt/1000 miles, just spun a bearing and very frustrated.
My 2011 jeep wrangler is burning thru oil with out any leaks.almost ran it totally out in 2 months, thank god I checked it it was starting to knock, and lagging on accelleration.
I never heard of an engine using oil.Jeep should pay for this.
2011 1 qt per 1000 milles
Engine blew due to a faulty block in 2010 Jeep Wrangler. Mechanic says faulty cast of bock all fluid levels fine but piston was bone dry when engine blew on highway with my 11 year old in the car. We could have died
2009 Wrangler uses a minimum of 1 quart per 1000 miles.
The last three oil changes we found the oil low 2 plus quarts needed. The engine gets noisy as well. It starts ticking and sounds terrible
Fresh oil change. 2200 miles had to add 2 qts
I have a 2011 jeep wrangler, sahara model. It burns so much oil. I am really disappointed...I had been convinced by my 2002 jeep wrangler...this was the vehicle to stick with. I am not so sure anymore.
Uses about 1/2 qt every 1000. Using one bottle of restore with 10W40
No signs anywhere of losing oil, but down 2 - 3 qts every 1000 miles. Have had 2 TJ models in the past and love them. Was a jeep for life person and now I am definitely questioning it.
2009 Jeep Wrangler 64000 miles mine burns 1qt every 500 miles. I was told by the dealership we need to do an oil consumption study. I have now been doing the consumption study for 3000 miles and they still don't want to fix the problem unless I pay for a tear down even with a warranty. Jeep need to take care of there customers not just push them aside with BS.
Motors are junk. Oil disappears without trace and warning. I've owned my 07 JKU for less than 3 years now and I'm on my 4th motor. My JKU is my daily driver and isn't beat on or taken off road.
I see this petition was started three years ago so I'm not sure what is going on at this point but I welcome any help. I've had my jeep for five years and I take such good care of it. Unfortunately it has this terrible issue that jeep likes to say is completely normal. Talk to any mechanic and they highly disagree. Justice needs to be served!
Loosing oil between changes. 4qrts+. On my 2011 wrangler sport 6 cylinder. Always change early BC of the loss.
1 quart at less then 500 miles
We need to all submit this link and file a complaint with the Attorney General of our respective states. It's ridiculous that Chrysler is ignoring this problem. I was advised by the dealership it's normal operation and I need to add 1qt every 1000 miles on my 2011 Wrangler.
2011 jeep , burning oil WHy?
2011 Wrangler Rubicon burning oil between a quart+ every 1,000 miles, dealer states I'm within industry standard
2011 Jeep Wrangler uses 1 guart of oil every 1,000 miles. No signs of leaks or burning.
2008, ridiculous amount of oil
2008 JK
2009 Jeep Wrangler has been using oil since it was new. I had an oil consumption test on it and that was a joke. It uses about 3 1/2 to 4 quarts between changes. Chrysler says that is within there specs.
My Jeep wrangler 2011 used 2 quarts of oil between a 5,000 full synthetic oil change. Purchased it with 49k, just turned 60k. This is the 3.8 engine
I have a 2011. With this issue and I'm pretty sure my engine is screwed bc of it.
I have a 2010 wrangler Sahara that has 90,000 on it but I noticed oil consumption at around 65,000 it isn't burning it it's just disappearing not happy about it either.
Burning oil
Oil consumption 1qt every 7 to 8k miles. This is getting expensive!!!!
I have a 2008 jeep wrangler jk sport x its is on 3rd engine and is still lossing oil
DRIVE 3000 MILES NO OIL LEFT IN ENGINE ONLY 40000 MILES ON MY 2011
1500 miles short of being due for an oil change, oil light comes on. I have less than 1/2 quart of oil left and probably permanent engine damage from driving w/so little oil. Oil light wasn't even solid on. Just blinking on & off.
No more jeeps for me
2009 jeep wrangler Sahara. User at least 3 quarts between oil changes! Help
Mine is a 2011 and it uses a quart every oil change, been in shop more than in my driveway
Just cost me an engine. Wife didn't check oil enough - but you shouldn't have to check on every tank of gas and 50,000 miles.
I have 2012 Wrangler with 80,000 km. using a litre every 600 to 700 km. Dodge service centre say this is within acceptable level. this is unacceptable. I am looking at legal advice right now.
I have a 2008 JK. Burning 1 1/2 quarts evert 1000 miles! Looking for rebuilt engine.-rs
2008 Jku bought used. Never have I ever added so much oil on a vehicle before. Makes me sick knowing my engine will just fail eventually due to this issue.

Engine started eating oil after 35,000 miles. Engine started ticking at 40,788. Never made it back out of dealership, is having the engine replaced.
I believe I am very close to meeting there criteria.
I just found out today after jeep doing an oil consumption test that I burned through over a quart in 1000 miles. I am having issues with the extended warrenty company to pay for repairs such as lifters, camshaft, manifold, rear main, etc. this truly is unbelievable that because this motor is crap, we as the purchaser have to eat the cost of repairs. If they do not pay for my repairs, I will be filing a class action against Chrysler and my warrenty company.
2008 Wrangler Burns a ton of oil.
Engine just went on our 2007. Most likely due to the excessive oil consumption!!

2010 Jeep Wrangler shouldn't be burning oil
I owned a 2007 jeep wrangler and was constantly taking care of the oil. My jeep eventually stopped working all together and I had to sell it. It was my only means of transportation. I loved my jeep very much and hated parting with it. I know the engine block blew with no waning light. I feel it was oil related. Also, I had many recalls on my jeep that I felt was the same recall (as to not fix the problem) cruise control went out. Air bag lights came on and off. I was putting so much money into my jeep on these issues. I also was fixing the death wobble that never went away even after replacing the entire under part of the front end. Please help me get this resolved I want to own another jeep but cant due to my credit being destroyed in order to keep my jeep running.
2010 jeep sahara unlimited 4 qrts burning about every 15k oil changes done faithfully and earlier than required no visual signs of leaking noticable synthetic oil always used
2011 Jeep Wrangler that I owned for maybe 35 days and the engine failed. Oil light turned on and not even 5 seconds later the engine began knocking and left me no choice but to replace the engine which cost me $4,000 out of pocket and dealer wouldn't do anything about it since it past the "30 day" warranty. Jeep had maybe 65,000-70,000 miles when this happened. Didn't even give me a chance to check oil bc the dash oil light came on after the damage was already done.
Going through a quart every 200 miles!
I burn oil
My 2011 Jeep Patriot is burning a lot of oil ... anyone know why ? It's frustrating !!
2011 jeep wrangler. Dealing with out "case manager" and dealership to see how this will be resolved. We need a new engine and our rod bearing is broken. We had no oil , needed to put in 4 quarts. Up to day on our oil change. No oil light, no leakage etc. just stopped after a knocking sound. Told by private party that we need a new engine at a cost of $7,000.00 it has 62, 000 miles. Waiting to hear from jeep
I have the same issue! They would not pay for it. My story below: Here is a link to the story: https://www.evernote.com/l/AAUafDQIxdNJxaL3KKHh_0__lWuVc1WhYUg
Same issue: Here is a link to my story: https://www.evernote.com/l/AAUafDQIxdNJxaL3KKHh_0__lWuVc1WhYUg
Sherri, If you would like to contact me reach out and we can see if we can get someone to listen. Chrysler will not handle your issue. They never did for me. I have a lawyer I am speaking to today.
This is unacceptable
2011 wrangler owner. 2 -3 quarts every 3000 miles.jeeps suck.
4 quarts before 5000 miles
Oil use at an unacceptable rate.
2011 jeep wrangler 62,000 miles no indication of oil issue. Knocking sound then dead. no oil . Dealing with jeep dealership and working with cooperate to get a new engine. Not going well. we are up to date on oil changes etc....
4 quarts of oil every 5000K

2011 jeep unlimited Sahara. Purchased from dealer with 31,000 miles 12/27/16 only put 4000 miles on it. All ready had it in the shop 1st time O2 sensor one month ago, back in the shop today for wheel sensor. Dealer just happen to do a multi point inspection and it's 2 quarts of oil low. Hum
My 09 jk uses 1 qt of oil every 400 miles or less
It should really be listed somewhere as a crime...........my son''s personal experience . Forced to go LEGAL.
I actually blew my engine once already because of this issue. Luckily I was able to get it covered under Warranty by providing proof of services. My warranty is expired now, so I am overly cautious and check the level every 1K miles. Usually have to add at least a quart...
Burning oil
major oil consumption and pinging!
oil consumption and lifter noise
Susannah Robinson
Purchased 2011 Jeep Wrangler @6 months ago for my son. He. And home from school yesterday and engine making a horrible noise. Husband checked oil and nothing st all registered in dipstick. Had oil changed several months ago and is not due for another 3500 miles. No oil light indicator, no oil on ground where he parks it's like it vanished. They said we need new engine for @$7500. Any ideas appreciated!!
2011 Jeep burning 2 quarts of oil every 600 miles here.
I have a 2012 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicón. It has 53000 and I have been asking about 1qt of oil every 500 miles or less. I have no ideal how this jeep consumes that much oil. Something is not right! Chrysler need to out a recall and fix this or pay all owners with this issue.
this 08 wrangler sahara 3.8 is using way to much oil,, chrysler at fault for installing oil control rings incorrectly or of the wrong type,,,HHHMMMMM??? this is expensive and totally unreprehensible to not be hearing back from more jeep owners with this 3.8 problem.
2009 Wrangler Unlimited drinking oil
My 2010 Jeep Wrangler stalled this morning after consuming 6 quarts of oil in less than 2000 miles. No oil light warning. My engine is gone.

1quart every 1000 miles
We own a 2010 Jeep Rubicon that has been a oil guzzler and a huge disappointment.
My 2008 Wrangler Sahara unlimited has been Burning Oil aggressively since the day I made the purchased.The Jeep only just reached 60000 miles and is so babied. I can not go a week without checking the oil . The undercarriage is dry as a bone. I wonder if OSHA should be notified. When inspected the NOX emissions are off the chart. It has to be HOT! to pass.The dealer kills me with their responses.
Happens every time I get an oil change. I was told by the company that changes the oil that these Jeeps are notorious for always burning oil which is not normal for other cars.
2010 Mountain Edition with 50,000 ml. have used full syn. oil since new. Oil change every 6,000 and 3.8 goes through 1 to2 quarts between oil changes.
Burns 1-2 qts between oil changes at 5k miles. 2008 Wrangler with 80k miles.
Totally unaware of this problem until today. Need a new engine. 56k miles 2011 Jeep Wrangler
I have a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited that drinks 1 quart of oil every 200 miles!!!! That is wrong!
1 quart every 700 mi 08 wrangler 3.8l
Ridiculous..quart every 1000 miles, sometimes less
2011 Jeep Wrangler goes through oil at a high rate. Now have engine ticking. Told engine needs to be replaced.
Burns 2 qts about every 1500 miles
I bought my 2009 Jeep Wrangler new and have 56000 miles and need to add a quart of oil every 750 miles.. dealer said it's okay to lose one quart every 1000 miles....?
Massive oil consumption in 2010. Lose at least 3 quarts every 4,000 miles. Use full synthetic oil.
2010 wrangler 2 quarts lost in 1000 miles of street driving just dropped it off yesterday at the jeep dealer for a tear down on 7/31/17 we will see how it goes.
I have a 2011 Wrangler at 59,000 miles that requires a new motor due to a common spun main bearing. Now its a $5k fix. How can this be allowed to happen
90k and almost 4 quart's in 1500 miles.
Had to replace the entire engine at 55,000 miles.
Using around 1.5 quarts every 2,000. I've never had an engine use this amount between oil changes. I'm pretty sure the rings are the issue.
I average 3-4 quarts every 3000 miles - Can someone explain how that is "normal oil consumption" I used to work at a Chrysler dealership and I remember doing consumption tests and repairing vehicle that would lose 2-3 quarts between oil changes and get Chrysler support. If I recall correctly excess loss of oil during the 3000 mile interval of 2 Q was excessive and required investigation. They either poorly designed or manufactured an engine and now ok to burn 5-7 Quarts every 6000 miles if you follow the recommended schedule. I don't I do change my oil every 3-4,000 miles and have put in up to 5 quarts in that time frame. Although do I really need to change my oil at the current loss rate or do I keep adding forever. 5Q oil + 3500 Miles = acceptable oil consumption according to dealers and techs. I was told Chrysler wont give assistance on repairs and has made adjustments to acceptable oil consumption amounts as this issue has evolved. Chrylser / Jeep should be embarrassed and they should know - I am a 3 Chrysler home that as my vehicles age and its time to trade them it will not be for another Chrysler unless they stand up and fix their issue.
I have the same issue. nearly 1/2 qt of oil per tank of gas. Absolutely ridiculous!
Mine used 2 quarts between oil chages.
Mine kept going between using too much and then not. As of today I have t replace the engine because it failed
Just paid off my 2010 rubicon and its dead in the water always done dealer maintenance
2000 jeep wrangler have to constantly add oil
2008 Wrangler. bought it at the end of 07 and has always used more oil than usual. As it ages , it uses more between oil changes. It is paid for and don't want to be forced to buy a new one or have a heavy repair bill.
Luckily i found out my engine burns oil. Hopefully not too late before any damage was done.
My 2010 Jeep requires a quart of oil every 1200-1500 miles
2008 Wrangler JK losing oil. As much as 1 quart every 500 miles. Only 70,000 miles on it and well maintained. Shame on Jeep.
2011 Wrangler burns through a quart every 600 miles. Very frustrating! It has 78,000 on it now and has been impeccably maintained.
2011 JK unlimited. Consumed oil now dealer tells me the engine is blown. Covered under warranty but want receipts of all oil changes. I don't keep all that. Plus I don't know if I want to keep it now. Frustrating that jeep wont own up to this. 85,000 miles
Just changed oil two hundred miles ago down a half a guart
2008 wrangler unlimited X. 3.8 L engine Oil burns fast and I m not getting any warning signs. Went to do an u related maintenance and oil was so low that I had to do an oil change way earlier than I would normally have. I have to go often for top offs now and have to carry oil with me at all times.
Mine uses 2 quarts every 2000 miles. It passes smog and doesn’t smoke or leak.
got to the point of 1qt. per 3 tanks of gas, Chrysler said considered normal consumption on a jeep with 50k.
I have a 2011 gently used wrangler with only 30,000 miles. Wouldn't start ,dealer says it need throttle body cleaning and NEW spark plugs! At 30k? What is this 1960??? Junk junk junk
I have a oil leaking into the cylinder combustion chamber on my 2007 Jeep Wrangler X 3.8L manufactured in Mexico . I have add oil every week and its very expensive .
Burned through 5 Quarts in 4k miles no oil press light nothing, just check engine after hearing lifter. Heard problem with PCV value sucking and boiling off oil in a very short period
My Wrangler is using oil.
I purchased a 2008 Jeep Wrangler from Carmax with 44,000 actual miles last June 2016. I have had it only 1 and a half years with 58,704 miles. the oil pump was faulty and has lock up the engine. I bought the vehicle for 23,700.00 and the cost to repair it is 6,867.43. This means that I would have to pay over 31,000.00 for this vehicle just to get it running. I need an attorney to fight for my rights to get this vehicle straightened out.
After no warning lights or indicators I also got the ticking sound which soon turned to knocking followed by jeep shutting down in an intersection. After having a mechanic look it over on the spot I was informed a new motor is needed
And now it looks like cylinder damage. 2007 lemmon.
2013 WRANGLER 4-door 41000
My 2008 wrangler is using 3 to 4 quarts every 2 weeks with an average daily mileage of 42. Its currently has 99872 miles on it. Its not leaking and the warranty ran out at 94k.
My 2010 Jeep Wrangler comsume 3/4 of synthetic motor oil in a 1038 Miles period. No smoke and no leaking issues.
My 2010 Wrangler has started using oil. 74,000 + miles. I talked with a service writer today and he looked to see if there was a recall. I believe it is the cylinder, however there is no evidence of burning oil.
2011 Jeep Wrangler 3.8L and it now has 40K miles on it. No leaks. Not smoking at all. Have to add oil more than I should. I'm pissed off.
Ordered from factory a 2008 Sahara. Problem almost immediately. The Chrysler 'this is normal' INTERNAL memo is clear BS... anybody experienced with cars knows this. Are we going to consider a lawsuit?
65K miles and burning oil on a vehicle I baby.
burns 1 quart easy every 1000 miles, probably more
Same on my Cherokee 2016 with 35k miles
I have a 2010 wrangler that's burning 1.25 qts of oil every 1000 miles...
My wife owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler bought used from dealer less than a year and a half ago. Had a recent oil change in Dec 2017, driven approx 382 miles and started knocking. Bought extended warranty but they won't honor it. Wanted 6 last oil changes, of which we do our own, except for 2 because of cold weather. 116000 miles and they told me I need a new engine. I just found out the 3.8 liter v6 is famous for this but they don't care.
2010 Rubicon, two oil changes ( 6000 miles) ago mechanic let me know there was hardly any oil when then went to drain it, added 3 quarts after 1000 miles now up to checking every couple of days- using about 1 quart per week --- no leaks, seems to be burning. Looks like this is a common problem, recommendation is to replace the engine $$$$
2008 jeep wrangler unlimited disappearing oil. 78,000 miles and no visible leaks. Can lose a quart in 400 miles as I get closer to the 3000 mile oil change mark.
At about 80,000 started using 2 plus quarts between oil changes. Was fine before that
2011
Replaced engine in 2011 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sport at roughly 131k

I am adding 3 to4 quarts of oil in between oil changes that are religiously done every 3,000 miles . 2008 Jeep Sahara 3.8 engine .
The cost of these vehicles and you can't get 75 k of decent service is ridiculous a gallon of oil in 3000 miles
90,000 lite use miles on my 2011 Sport Wrangler, never been off road or abused and it's used 4 quarts since last oil change. Next change not even due yet. Totally unacceptable. These things are WAY over priced.
'07 Rubicon only has 64,621 miles was down 2.5 qts @ 3000 miles
My 07 JKU has 177000 miles. It takes a dino 10w40 quart every 3000 miles. No Syn oil. Leaks everywhere, valve cover, front main, rear main. Average 50 miles per day min. Unacceptable.
Way too much oil consumption on my 2010 Wrangler Rubicon
2011 JKU Rubicon 144000km. First time ever oil light would flicker on quickly (due to low oil pressure) and off that I didn’t know what was being indicated. Checked dip stick and it was complete dry after 5600km. Change the oil (which less than 1 liter was left) and filter. NOT HAPPY :(
This is an issue in the 2.4L engine. We have the 2019 Cherokee with this issue and it’s stalling causing a huge safety issue
This needs to be fixed!!!
74002 miles well maintained uses more oil than gas They should be embarrassed go back to 4.0

2010 jeep wrangler sahara 3.8l v6, burns 1 quart every 1,000 miles. Not good!
I have a 2011 Jeep Rubicon with the 3.8 V6. I am adding oil at the rate of 1 qt. every 800 - 1000 miles. I change my oil every 3000-3500 miles like clock work.and still i end up adding almost 4 its. in between. I also had to replace my EGR valve do to it getting gummed up and triggering a alarm.
Hi I have a 2011 Jeep wrangler and have the same problem!!!

3 months old and 7000miles and is low on oil. Dealer says I have to bring it in every 1000 miles to have level checked.
I have an 07 jku Sahara that burns oil, I've read that switching to a thicker oil might help but have been scared to do so. So I'm still running 5-20.

2015 Jeep Wrangler
Getting p06dd code and burning oil. 1 quart every ~300/400 miles
I replaced my 3.6L engine at 94,000mi. Now the new engine is at 30,000 mi and still uses a quart at fill up=280mi and the engine company wont honor their warranty
i have an 08 jk that uses oil and no leaks i only drive around town short trips maybe 5 miles back and forth and i’m putting about a quart in every month.
We own an '08 Jeep Wrangler. Had oil changed and was time for another when oil light came on when braking. Checked the dip stick, nothing was showing, added a quart, still nothing, went and bought a 5 quart jug and used close to 4 quarts. Feel fortunate we didn't blow the engine. Will be watching it like a hawk from now on.

We are now in the process of replacing ($4,000) our seized engine due to the excessive oil consumption we were not aware of in our leased 2011 Jeep Wrangler.. (35,000 miles on it)

I have a 2011 Wrangler Sahara. During recent oil changes, it was noted that more oil was needed than usual. Nothing smoked, no lights came on... Nothing. Yesterday, about a minute away from home, engine started knocking. There was barely any oil when checked. Had it towed to the dealer and they just calked to tell me the engine seized while in the shop. Only has 60k miles on it. Last oil Change was 4k ago.
