Its going to be blow-by.
If your PCV is not working, you will have a lot of blow by building up in your oil and IVIC will be telling you to change your oil early.
Do you have a catch can?
The Hemi's comparatively higher compression, and the reduced number of rings and shorter piston skirts on modern engines means more unburned crap gets into the crankcase.
If the PCV
IS working and you do not have a catch can, all that funky milkshake goes back into your throttle body. Motor oil, even highly diluted motor oil, does not burn cleanly--it leaves varnish-like residuals and since the Hemi is not direct injected it leaves them on the intake valves and seats when it contacts hot metal on a warm engine. It also leaves oily build up on your intake and can foul your TB over time. Oil in your air-fuel mixture also can cause pre-detonation which forces the PCM to pull timing costing you power.
