What is the upper bound for the oil consumption rate of an SRT-10 engine?
How much oil is it using/leaking??
I’m in Los Angeles. A recent round trip to Las Vegas started at 44,867 and ended at 45,694 odometer miles, with the engine using up 1½ quarts of oil.Depends on viscosity, temperature, past maintenance, driving style, ambient temperature and other factors.
Where is your truck at??

I like long posts. The more information, the better.
I could be crowned the long post King! People don't have to read a dang thing if they don't want to but it's there if they do.
As odd as this sounds, have a GOOD look around your oil filler cap. Oil coming from there can be very hard to notice.
The black o-rings in the filler cap get old and dry out.
The new ones (like on the SRT-8 engines) are green and Viton and provide a much better seal over time.
Start there if you have an original black one.
It doesn't help that the dipsticks are also tough to read but it's great you top it up when needed (whatever the reason is).
on the original motor a quart every 3000 miles, on the new motor I changed oil about 800 miles ago , still full ( kind of surprising with new rebore)
