Engine failure poll?

[Gussie2000]

I changed my oil at 48569 about 6 weeks ago & right now my odo reads 49890

Since then I added almost one quart;I change my oil every 3500 miles using 0W-30
According to isuzu one quart of oil every 1000 miles is ok for this engine.
That statement is completly insane & they give this ridiculous stat due the huge amount of complains about their 3.5L instead of recalling all vehicules presenting this issue.
I always wonder why isuzu spent so much into designing such vehicule just to dump in a junkie engine like this instead of also designing a unique engine with more horse power & less issues

Gussie, from whom in Isuzu did you get that info?

Are you kidding? I've read quite a few statements on this very website from VX owners who were told something similar by their local Isuzu service managers when said owners were inquiring about what seemed to be excessive oil consumption in their relatively low-mileage VX's.
