Hi all. I have a 2018 Jeep Compass with just over 60k miles. As I was driving today, it just shut off. I got it started again, and moved to a safe location. As I was scrolling through to see if there were any alerts or messages on my dash, I noticed the oil temp was at basically 0. I checked the oil, and the dipstick was dry. I went and got a couple quarts, put it in and checked and it was fine. I took it to get the oil changed at Valvoline since they were the only thing open (Sunday at 4:40 pm.) When they scanned my bar code, they found that I just my my oil changed 600 miles ago, and it's not due until 69k miles since it's a full synthetic oil. They checked underneath, bone dry, no leaks. Checked around the engine, no leaks. Stuck his finger in the hole for the valve cover bolt, and it was full of about 3/4 inch of oil. I'm hoping that it just needs tightened up (fingers crossed.) My question is, how could it have gone through enough oil to register nothing on the dip stick in just 600 miles, with no hint of leaks, not burning oil smell, nothing other than the valve cover holes. I'm hoping that my extended warranty I got when I bought it (pre owned) at about 48k miles.
Has anyone had this kind of issue?
Thanks,
Bill
