I wouldn't complain about losing a pint of oil every 7500 miles. That's a lot of engine wear. I'd rather lose a pint than gain a pint!
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Interesting. I have had new Silverado’s that took almost a quart to 5k since new. Never more nor less. I’ve now got 3 grand cherokees, v6 and v8s none use oil. My other vehicles don’t use any either. I always figured up to a quart per change was no big deal. When I was young it seemed like every vehicle near 100 grande had a black cloud behind it. Times have changed.

I run synthetic oil to 8k on most vehicles, some more if they are used primarily on pavement. Hunting rigs and vehicles that do serious time on dirt roads I go about 4K between changes and use cheaper non synthetic oil. I never scrimp on the filters in any of them.

Why do some new cars use oil? They shouldn't, but quality control is pathetic in today's industry. I'd be back to the dealership getting to the bottom of it

cause it's a dodge
ok maybe all of them aren't
we rented a mini van one time when we flew in , picked it up at the air port , a few miles out of the lot it had a lot of lifter noise so we pulled over at a gas station and checked the oil level
dodge caravan it was not even touching the dip stick
took 2 quarts at the gas station to get into the hashes cheaper than getting stuck on the side of the road and less time consuming than an hour at the rental place.
it had less than 1000 miles on it
this was Atlanta 1996 a few months before the Olympics
I would guess some one under filled it at the factory probably a Monday morning Friday afternoon
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Newer gm 5.3 has had ring issues. According to the news. Yep. Need to change the oil far more often than the idiot light tells you to. Seen them use 5 quarts in 3000 miles.

I bought two pickup trucks brand new and both of them would use a quart or 2 between oil change till about 50,000 . Diesels I got a 2015 6.0 gas now and it uses no oil I run mobil 1 in it and go up to 15,000 between oil change s. Just make sure that you pamper them in break-in, lol or do like I do run them like a rental from day one.
Let me sugar coat this

Because they are built cheap and are lower quality than the older ones. Sure, because older cars never used oil... LOL
