Been having my 07 Hemi for over 2 years now, done all my oil changes myself. Now since my latest oil change I’ve lost a whole lot of oil, never has it done this before. No signs of leakage. 5,000 miles every oil change and it’s lost maybe a little bit I can barely tell but it’s not even coming up to the safe mark on the dipstick.

Did you change brands of oil? Some oils burn off quicker than others. Check youre PVC valve.

Actually, I did change my brand of oil. Went from penzoil to Mobil 1. Also a buddy told me about the PCV valve. Should I switch back to penzoil where I didn’t have this problem? Or would there be no difference?

Yeah, I'd switch back. I had an f150 that ran great on m1, however it used twice as much m1 between changes compared to amsoil or castrol.
