Bought it for 2500 5 years ago..has reg oil changes
2002 Jeep Liberty sport 3.7L 300,000 miles
Engines burn oil when they wear out. Worn rings, worn cylinders, worn valve guides, deteriorated valve stem seals. If you got 300K miles out of a Jeep Liberty it's time to stop worrying about oil burning and got out and buy some lottery tickets or try your luck in Las Vegas.
My 2002 limited edition jeep liberty with the 3.7 has 248,000 miles the engine has been maintained perfectly it’s whole life
You are fortunate. Note that, statistically, engine problems top the list of issues with that model by a wide margin:

Jeep P0500 Speed Sensor Malfunction, Vehicle speed sensor harness or connectors is open or shorted, Vehicle speed sensor circuit poor electrical connection, or Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM)
The Jeep 3.7 V6 is well known for oil burning out of poor quality and 300k miles is way too much wear on that enigne you certainly have gotten a lot, in fact too much, out of that Jeep.
You really shouldn't do anything it isn't worth it just drive it till the engine goes out.
thank you...Ok well I'll just keep
checking my fluids and changing the oil when I'm supposed to try to baby it as long as I can. I just wanted to see if there was anything else I could try.the jeeps been good to me and wondered if there was something I could do. I checked all fuse's and did not find any bad nor.did I find cut/open wires .I'll still replace the censor cuz it doesn't cost that much..
Update on the Jeep fixed no more Mill lights nothing comes up when I scan it I really appreciate you guys taking time out to give me advice avid fan of the show thank you Scotty and the rest of you I know the Jeep soul but I'm going to see how many miles I can get out of the old girl
You can consider "high mileage" oil, which supposedly has additives to reduce loss. But honestly, if it was me, I'd just get the cheapest oil that meets specs and top it off once a week.
But what do I know, you're the one who got an 02 Jeep Liberty to 300K; you tell me!
I'm not really sure just lucky I guess.
You might want to try a new PCV valve which is probably clogged up. About $6 at AutoZone, # PCV2280DL.
