Let me tell you about a 2001 Cherokee.

At less than 47,000 miles, I noticed the oil pressure going to nearly zero at stop lights. Chrysler replaced the sender. Kept happening, eventually the oil pressure would go to zero at lights and the idiot light would come on. Chrysler replaced the oil pump. No help. I did an oil change and sent a sample to Blackstone Labs. Blackstone sent the oil report back and said DO NOT OPERATE this engine until it was looked at. Oil was heavily contaminated with anti-freeze which was eating up the bearings causing the low oil pressure.

Chrysler short blocked the engine. Cost me $50 thanks to the extended warranty (first time one of those ever paid off.)

4000-miles later, the engine ate the camshaft and camshaft position sensor. They fixed that.

Now, it's going thru coolant by the gallon. Chrysler either can't or won't find where it's going. No puddles.

This is the 4.0L straight six that traces its heritage all the way back to a 1920's Nash design.
