2009 caravan sxt 3.9 motor with 55000 and i lose oil. by the time the oil pressure light comes on i take it in and needs about 4.5 qts. do i even need an oil change?? ive been fighting this since the beginning. they changed my PCV valve and still the same. no leaks, no burning. They say you lose a qt every 1,000 miles but thats just crazy. dodge manual says change the oil every 5000 miles and im sticking with it, my engine blows than this is my reason. luckily i bought the extended warranty otherwise. its a pain to worry (everytime)about this towards the 3000 oil change mile mark but thats what i get for buying a chrysler car. good luck!
