2004 Liberty Limited 4x4 with 3.7L (135K)

I went to check the oil and the dip stick was showing NONE! Never had an oil light come on though. I filled it back up to the full mark. It took 3.5 qts for that. Drove for about a week and its now down to the low end of the “safe” mark on the dip stick. I’m not having any drops on the ground, there seems to be no oil in the coolant, and no white smoke blowing out the exhaust. I’m not sure where the oil is going and going so quickly! Any ideas!?

Pull the intake and do a thorough check for any leaks. Also check the plugs to see if they are oily.

With 3 cats you can burn a good bit of oil and not see the smoke until it clogs the cat. Take a look at the plugs and perform a leakdown test. Or if the tool isn't available for that at least a compression test.

I'll check the plugs and report back what I find. Thanks!
