the sign of a great vehicle

yep typical of many VXs to burn oil.. try changing the PCV valve and making sure that your oil filler cap seals correctly.. ive been finding quite a bit of oil along the passenger side spark plugs and around the oil filler neck.. i changed out my cap and gasket yesterday (see thread about oil filler gasket) and hopefully that will change, i cleaned up all the oil i could and checked today (maybe 45 miles w/ the new cap) and theres no signs of any oil in the area.. and i was drivin it hard to test it

OT:
Oil Consumption. Do a search for an older post by me on this subject.
If you're finding oil on the passenger side of your engine, it's worth a look.

My wife's Dragon blew through a couple of quarts in a day as a result of this leaking valve cover gasket.
It leaves almost no trace of the leak if it sprays in the right direction.

An Isuzu tech told me to switch to 0W30 oil to quiet the motor down, it worked and didn't cause any oil consumption (burning).
I wouldn't say that thin oil is a bad thing.
