Frickin fiat!!!

1 qt. every 2,000 miles-come on-really. Just because they say it does not mean it's right. I bet the oil was not properly filled last time it was changed

You could be right, most likely filled to bottom line of safe zone. The plot thickens though, stealership just called, there is a LOT of oil from the rear of the engine back, he said it's really wet. I also added several pounds of mud on my property last weekend, so they gotta clean it off and take a look in the a.m. The dealership where I bought this Jeep already changed the dipstick oil fill tube as it was recalled for leaking, wonder what else could be.
