Oil Loss???

[blacksambo]

While I've heard the EGR issue before, have you checked your oil filler cap gasket?? If it's not sealing perfectly it will allow oil into the intake system. Also, we've gone on our two Vx's from a quart of oil usage per 1000 miles to almost zero usage by upgrading our PCV valve to the Purolator brand #1061 with a fresh filler gasket. Try it you'll like it.

My dipstick does the same thing, however, if the holes are not filled up on the stick than that means it is not actually going down into the oil, but rather picking it up from the sides of the shaft probably. I usually top off til the top hole is filled in.
