not an 2010 or 2011 for that matter......but my 2007, has over 100,000kms, never burnt a drop of oil either or any other engine issues....regular service every 5000kms and all has been good...and I drive it fairly hard

I'm at 17k on my '10 Rubi & mine doesn't use any oil at all. I change my oil every 5k & use 5w30.
On a side note I was in the dealership a few weeks ago & was checking out all of the new Grand Cherokees.
Every one of the Penstar equipped ones said the engine was made in Mexico.
I think I might wait a few years to see how that motor works out before I go out & buy one.

I have no trouble off road with mine, once in 4LO it has all the torque i could ever need offroad, and those extra 85 HP will not do much if you need to spin the motor a extra 500 RPM's to make it, when was the last trail run you were on that you saw readline?
