Cool 2019 Cherokee Oil Consumption Test

My oil consumption tests were being done inaccurately by my dealer. I took my Jeep to a different dealer and the testing was done correctly. My engine was replaced. Do not trust your oil consumption test results, take it to another dealer for a second opinion.

Jeeze. My 97 and 99 4.0s don't even consume oil. Progress is an illusion.

I read somewhere that new cars have an acceptable standard of burning up to 1qt per oil change, and that's because of the longevity.

I'm at 302k, and in 20k miles of owning my XJ, I haven't been missing more than 1/2 quart on a 4-5k interval. I consider that success.
