    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.

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

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