Getting the Wheeling Fever
Looking at an 04' Rodeo with the 3.5 DI V6. Does this motor have the oil consumption problems that the earlier 3.5's had? Any other issues with this motor? Thanks

Body Damage is Cool
I have it on my Axiom. Awesome motor. I have had no issues yet (22K miles since new).

The 3.5s were fixed by 2001 or so, I would be very surprised if the DI motor had the same issues.

Need a Spot
My 2004 Axiom just turned over 100,000 miles. No oil consumption problems with mine. It's running great.

My 2004 Rodeo has 39k miles.

Aside from stints sitting the the driveway a week at a time, it also gets put into storage for 8-10 months at a time, allowing for very dry seals.

No oil consumption that I'm aware of.
