Have to ask, did you add enough oil to begin with when you last changed it? How much went in? Are there any leaks?
If there are no leaks, your engine likely has a drinking problem....
Yes sir I made sure it was at the correct level, I'm lucky Jeep made a easy to read dipstick unlike my Honda. It was a 5qt jug, I can't remember exactly how much went in but i don't think there was any leftover cause I put the old oil immediately in the jug. No sir, no leaks, I've been lucky in that sense. Unlike my Honda that ran dry from a cracked oil pan.
Than oils making it's way past the rings and/or valve stem seals and being burned in the combustion chamber. If that's the case, and by all indications it seems to be, there are some things you could try to mitigate this like doing an engine flush or piston soak to try and free up the rings, or using a HiMi oil to soften up the stem seals if that's the cause (no real way to know unless you do a tear down). Or just keep it topped off checking it daily, with a cheap dino and motor on...
i think you may be right, i'll try to have someone turn it on today for me while i'm at the back by the tailpipe and see if there is a cloud of smoke coming out from the oil that i read can accumulate on top of the piston and get burned up after sitting overnight and show itself during cold start. and i'll go with HiMi this time around too, ty sir.
