EGR and PCV vs Oil Consumption

[JAMAS]

and mine I grabbed from the gallery.....not even my engine.

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.

I have had my VX going on 13 years now and when i first got it i noticed it did use oil so the dealer ran an oil consumption test myVX used 1 qt. every 3000 miles. the dealer then contacted izusu america in California they said the motor was set up to use 1qt. every3 to4 thousand miles, none of the shop machanics could believe it, but for 13 years every 3 to4 thousand miles i either change the oil or add a qt. so i recomend just to deal with it. thats just the way the motor is set up.

FYI, deermagnet posted this TSB a while back.
It shows Isuzu quoted that 1qt PER 1,000 MILES WAS CONSIDERED WITHIN NORMAL.

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

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.
