    Oil Consumption

    So, I've been emailing back and forth with the third owner of my VX (I am the 8th!). He put a rebuilt motor in the truck at around 60k. The ODO says 126k right now, so that means the rebuild has around 66k on it. Even though the miles are pretty low, my truck consumes a ton of oil.. I've run 2 tanks through it and have had to add an entire quart of oil! Is this normal? Any way to slow the consumption? Where is the oil actually going? Also, on another note, the 3rd owner sent me some pics of when he owned the truck and it was immaculate and had a ton of really cool mods (custom red and black Corbeau CLOTH seats that were really cool looking, LED lights all around, LED "horn" lights, white light up gauges, LED under hood lights, custom skid plates, leather bra, the list goes on and on...) and a pile of receipts and service records. He passed these records and all mods, as well as all of the OEM parts on to the next owner, who evidently stripped the truck back to stock and sold all of the aftermarket parts! Shame on you 4th owner! Whoever you are...
