Maybe somebody spilled oil on it when they did the oil change? Wouldn't be the first time that's happened.
Yep, I am wondering if its the top or the business end covered in oil.

You just took the thoughts right from my headI can't believe you put family in jeopardy doing 95 in a vehicle that wasn't designed nor is it safe at those speeds. Care less about the Jeep after reading this.
I agree.I wonder what the deal is with #6 plug being covered in oil. For some reason I don't think this is the end of this story.
Nope not kidding. 26% rollover rate, removable doors, poor crash tests etc.

Facts remain a top heavy vehicle speeding down the highway with small children that is marginal at best for safety is never a good idea
I owned one SUV and drove others and can tell from experience a top heavy vehicle can get away from you the minute you get to comfortable

What about the innocent people sharing the road with him? God forbid he crashes and some innocent person gets hurt or killed as a result of his foolish actions.I can't believe you put family in jeopardy doing 95 in a vehicle that wasn't designed nor is it safe at those speeds.

Maybe as a child. As one grows older they grow wiser and smarter.I bet you've exceeded the speed limit, at least by 1 mph, many times in your life - THEREFORE breaking the law - THEREFORE endangering lives. Why should I or anyone else listen to moralization about speed limits from a potential murder, who by luck hasn't murdered anyone yet? Have you ever looked at a woman and thought she was beautiful? Well, there you go, murderer and misogynist moralizing about speed limits. I'm sure your case goes deeper though....

With more than 11,000,000 of them produced, anything with even a small occurrence rate will seem like a lot. Meanwhile there's one from a delivery van in another thread with 625,000 miles that never had an issue with the rockers or anything else, for that matter, until the timing chain stretched and the guides broke.It's a lease, so that means its beat on only slightly less than a rental.
Pentastars seem to have "weak" rockers. Weak might not be the right term but they seem to fail a bit more often than what you hear of for other engine families. Still. Not sure how many Pentastars have been made, nor the failure rate, but I'm guessing it's still pretty low. It's a mechanical creature, stuff does fail. It's annoying, but expected in the scheme of things.

So let me get this straight....you think modern, complex mechanical devices never have defects or problems?
No, but I'm bewildered that I've encountered a modern engine with an internal failure so early in its life. I know and understand that it's theoretically and statistically it is possible/will happen
