I have a 3.7L v6 w 196k miles on it. Takes 5 quarts of 5w30
I buy the 20k oil but I change it every 10k or less.
It consumes 3 quarts every 10k miles.
At that rate of adding oil, should I even bother with oil changes since a new quart is coming in every 3k miles?
the door was partially open, the wind blew it all the way open hard. now there is no longer the slight gap between the front quarter panel and the door. when I open and close the door the scrapes the front panel, anyone experience this and was able to fix it?

Putting up and removing sand bags everytime the weather gets bad isn't a good option since I have a bulging disc. The rear engine is probably more work than I want to do
2006 3.7 Regular Cab 6' bed, RWD
The RWD is the issue in bad weather since I don't keep anything heavy back there.
BUT
Is it possible (anything's possible but within a reasonable amount of work) to relocate the engine to the back right above the rear wheels, like on a 911?
I know Smyth used to...
pulled out a screw, stuck in a tire plug.
tire still has a slow (albeit much slower) leak.
I think I may have skrewed up, I don't supposed I can force a big plug through the smaller one?
I've been tracking this as best I can, given logistics but I miscalculated in my initial post, it's more like 1.5 quarts every 2,000 mi or thereabouts. everything seems dry including under the hood
oil consumption is now over a quart in just over a week. no oil spots after I park and no oil smell while driving, strangely there are some droplets splashed on the fan cover and bottom half of the intake, I touched the spots and they looked like and felt like they could have been very fresh oil
I agree but I have three things working against me.
First is moving to Pittsburgh where it's not only bad weather, the roads are narrow one lane roads that are also hilly and curvy. I've driven three RWD vehicles up there in winter (one of which was a rear engine / RWD so there was weight over...
I may pull the trigger on getting a 2017 AWD charger w 150k miles on it.
How many miles is the engine & transmission on a V8 awd charger typically good for?
I'm in love with the simplicity (and reliability) of my 2006 RAM 1500 V6.
Thinking about getting a charger 4wd.
Is it the same simple design and ease of DIY?
(Perhaps not as easy to DIY as the RAM pickup but say compared to an Audi or Mustang)
