Guys need some advise, I have this vehicle no sing of white smoke coming out the tail-pipe but it burns oil. Has any one ran in to this problem I was thinking of changing out the the Valve Stream seals. Called Chekers and the salesman (asking for price quote) told me his brother had to replaced them on same vehicle didn't ask his why.

elopez,

For an oil leak you'd see blue smoke, and white smoke if it's got a coolant leak. Oil consumption is normal on these V6 engines (is that what you have?), expect one quart per 1,000 miles more or less. Keep an eye on it, keep it full, change it regularly and you'll be OK. If you are experiencing more consumption than this, get a few quotes and closer inspections of the problem before having the work done. Lots of posts on this topic here - do some searching and you'll get to know a lot more about whether you have a real problem or not. Good luck, Tom

Sorry for not begin so clear, (white smoke-blue smoke) That is really weird that is normal for an engine to burn oil. This Rodeo has a V6 3.2
