No knocking that I noticed but when it was idling it kept acting like it was misfiring or getting ready to stall

Hey Reiper, did they give indication on what they found the cause of all that oil getting past the rings to be?
Many here that have had their motors dissassembled due to oil burning have found that the rings were installed incorrectly at the factory (ie: gaps lined up on the compression rings, oils control rings all installed upside down, etc). Keep us posted, eh!

A not so proud member of the quart/1,000 mile club here. At 76,000 miles, I'm just hoping that Mobil 1 can perform miracles because I'm seeing a lot of threads about issues with the 07/08 engines. I just changed my oil this weekend and I will be watching it very closely from here on out.

Picked up the Jeep yesterday everything seems to be running ok. I didn't get a chance to talk to the mechanic who worked on the Jeep. I asked the service manager If the rings were installed wrong or what would make them do that and he never really gave me a straight answer as to why this happened. He did tell me that the rings that are in it now are different from the ones originally installed. I asked if should be worried about this happening again and he said no... we'll see. I'll probably be getting a call from Chrysler in a few days, I'll keep everybody posted.
