EGR and PCV vs Oil Consumption

[VX KAT]

Well, looks like my VX is getting close to being slightly peculiar.

is it drinking more than this rate?

Darn you warm climate and non-coastal dwellers with your sparkly-clean engines. Serious envy going on here right now.

Hey Gussie, if you're listening, this is the valve that you showed me at our mini-meet. Didn't you have some sort of mod on this?

I bought a Fram PCV on ebay couple months ago. It was wicked cheap. $8 if I remember correctly. I'm gonna replace it for the first time next oil change.

@cris, I cannot believe that Isuzu would purposely make an engine that burns a specific amount of oil. If so, thats weird. LOL! Its more likely that they only told people this in order to save their butts from hefty warranty expenses.

WICKED CHEAP?
Most Purolator are usually in the $3 - $5 range/ballpark.
One other brand I got from NAPA was $9, Checkers had one also in the $8-9 range.

Thanks for the info. I'm very interested to see if mine is original. Going to pick one up and make the change regardless.

On the way back from Moab I had one stop that yielded something like 370 miles from my last fill up and 1qt of oil . Usually between tanks if it shows oil burn it is like 1/8 to 1/4 of a quart . 1/2 quart between tanks is less common but does happen . And 370 miles out of a tank only happens out west. I normally get about 260 to 270 with 2or3 gallons left in the tank when I fill-up.
