    This is how an Isuzu shop would check for excessive oil consumption-

    So I guess all those people who weren't entering their VX's in rally crosses every weekend, towing 40 ft. cabin cruisers, or traveling the autobahn, but still experiencing said excessive oil usage don't count?

    You may feel ease with this report,but for city driving conditions that amount of lossed oil still is a huge concern to think about.

    Yes we got screwed. I was told by an Isuzu mechanic that the front cylinders on this particular engine don't get enough lubrication. I know of 2 other VX owners in my area who are not on this site who had the engine failure. Imagine the countless numbers of VX owners with this problem who have not answered this poll.

    I've decided that it does not make sense to waste money on the same engine.

    Can anyone point me in the direction of a company that can install a better more reliable engine in my VX?
    Also, what other engines would fit in the VX?

    I really don't want to part with my VX.
