What does a VX look like after 270,000 miles?

reminds me of an old episode of married with children where Al is about to hit 1 million miles on his old dodge and they are going to tape it and give him a brand new viper - of course he never gets it but maybe someone should write isuzu a letter on behalf of deermagnet

I agree with everyone on this post that even with 270K miles, Mr. Deermagnet has managed to maintain his VX in near-pristine condition.

One question though. With less than half Deermagnet's miles, my VX drinks oil like crazy. Probably, I am going through at least a quart every thousand miles. Makes me wonder how a VX with more than twice my miles measures up against the same metric.

So, how much oil does your VX drink Mr. Deermagnet?

Guess if you don't mind checking your oil every single day then the issue is a non-issue. For lazy people like me though...? Kind of a pain. But I love my 130K mile VX so I guess I'm going to have to monitor the oil eater one way or the other.

Zero oil use between 3K oil changes for me. Only 85k clicked off. Estimate 6k miles per year, I'll also hit 300k in the spring of 2048. Check back if you want to see my post!
