The quality of info on here has degraded over the years. This board used to have a bunch of great material but now it just seems that everyone either supports or denies any information posted on the basis of supporting their opinion.
But you aren't getting an example of one. You are getting a collective viewpoint of those who have owned 6.4L's in this thread, which is generally more representative of the average experience than if one were to specifically search out the issue.
Look at it this way: How many people with 6.4L's responded to your thread that didn't have consumption? You have consumption. So, of those people, you are the 1 in X that has some (tapering off) consumption. I think that's an at least more typical cross-section of ownership than a directed query on the issue by itself.
It would be nice if a poll could be created to illustrate this better.
I'm not doubting the veracity of your claim and I'm certainly not trying to marginalize your concern. I've simply indicated that I don't believe oil consumption in the 6.4L is any more prevalent than on any other modern V8 engine, which all have acceptability guidelines that are similar to FCA's.
