My truck is used mainly for highway driving. We change the oil as recommended. We are using 2-3 quarts of oil between changes. There are no obvious leaks or drips. We would like to check the PVC, but can't find it.

The PCV is on the valve cover but will not cause this problem. How many miles do you drive between oil changes? Chrysler finds a quart in 1500 miles is acceptable. Let me know.
