You made a query, didn't appear to be pleased with the feedback provided by owners of the engine on this site, and then proceeded to Google the issue and subsequently seemed concerned that your targeted search for an issue on a mass produced engine yielded significant results
I've simply tried to clarify that this should have been expected and is in no way is indicative of consumption being any more common on the 6.4L than it is on any other engine.
Absolutely true. Classic case of the Net helping someone draw a poor conclusion based on limited evidence.
My 6.1 HEMI has over 100k miles that includes drag strip and road course workouts. Oil temps over 300 degrees in the summer at Homestead! Virtually always driven to the redline every time I use it.
No visible oil consumption ever. We also own a 14 RAM 5.7 that never moves on the dipstick.
And BTW, the "new" SRT spec oil is no gem, their original spec was always M1 0W-40 and it works quite well in these engines.
