Took the Renegade to the Jeep dealer.

Took the Renegade to the Jeep dealer. The waterpump was making noise and has excessive blow by. They replaced the waterpump works great. They said for the blowby that I have to replace the valve and oil pan covers then wants to do the oil dipstick dance. The work has to be done by a shop. The oil change by them. The excessive blow by is whats causing the oil to be pushed out of the gaskets. I'll just have oil over the engine again when I steam clean it. Where to from here? 2.4L 2018 Renegade Lattitude.The 2018 uses to much oil and has a recall on it. They want a "shop" to do the gaskets and them for the oil change. I've been changing the oil at 5K and it's pretty clean. In between the 1500-1700 miles I'll use 2 quarts and 4-5 in the 5K. Castrol Edge 5w20 is what I use. The oil pickup tube cracks on this year so oil starvation, hence the blowby. I spent 3K for them to change the waterpump, alternator, belt and battery. I'm not to mobile at 63, but if I knew it was going to be so much for labor I would have done it. One has to figure a shop charges $150-250 an hour though.

This is the WORST VEHICLE I ever had.

This is the WORST VEHICLE I ever had. It's always been in the shop since I got it. I spend more money getting it fixed than to actually driving it. Do not get this car. It loves problems. I guarantee you.
