So, I have a 2016 ram hemi. The engine light comes on then a few seconds later, the traction light cones on and I loose power. Happens mostly on a cold engine. Im up North. I found that my oil level is way down when this happens and of course I add oil and it's fine for a min. The other day it was completely empty of oil and no sensors warning at all. The guards were all normal. I found that the oil level is the problem but can't figure out where it's burning. I smell it at my tail pipe but there is no smoke. I run a tester and it gives me some codes like 3044. But I replaced all the sensors. Still does this. Any clues?

I had a issue a few weeks ago.
Turns out the PCV valve was bad and sucking oil and coating the Throttle body !
Maybe worth checking ?

I will check my oil lever tomorrow just to be safe :)
The gear heads should chime in, Sorry I am not much help

How many miles on it, A compression test dry/wet will show you the condition of the rings, valve seals not usually a problem but will smoke at start up, probably time for new spark plugs they will show if you're burning oil.
