Burning Oil?

[Gussie2000]

Oh man,believe me,you're not alone with this one if that makes you feel better.

I bought mines with only 38,780 miles last year around november,my odo reads 45,869 right now & it do burns oil,i drives the average of 15 miles per day;Full syntetic is the key to an longlasting engine (mobile 1 or amsoil),don't abuse it,use 5w-30 on cold weather & 10w-30 on summer. Don't play with this one.

My mechanic who's an former isuzu engine specialist told me that isuzu engineers oversight the facts that the ducts the oil runs throughtout the engine were too big & too few of them so a considareble amount of oil goes into the combustion chamber which shouldn't be happening,specially on high RPM's situations such as be in the highway or express ways when the oil pump pumps high amounts of oil as per demanded by the engine.

Isuzu knows about this issue,but's financially high the amount of money they would had to put out here in order to have that issue solve,which in fact is that isuzu will had to redesign the whole engine or build a new one for each VX,rodeo,axiom,amigo & trooper on the streets so they best move is to ignore the issue,so clever don't they ?

This problem is found in almost all 1998 to 2001 engines my mech told me,he had more that 200 isuzu troopers,rodeos & 2001 axioms just in his shop & about 3 vehicross (included mines) which had a few sticky lifters due the lack of use.

In 2002 isuzu overcome this issue with they new engine.

If you have the meanings $$$$ & if the vehicross means a lot for you,plus the value the VX will have over there & the overall conditions of your VX you should dropped an 2002 isuzu axiom engine with the less mileage you can possible find into it if isuzu had axioms for sale there.

The 2002 engine fits perfectly without any more mods,is like a plug & play stuff.

Plus this engine is more powerfull it comes with 230 HP instead of the 215.

Rebuilt is another option,but the oil conpsumtion can be back again,problally with less amount of loss oil.

When i got aknowledge about this issue my thoughts were : DAMN I SCREW UP,but after a found that many VX's made the 100,000 & + miles i believe mines can go that far as yours.

One of my co-workers have a 2002 rodeo with more then 200,000 miles on the clock & that bastard runs like an champion.

The secret : maintainance,that's all about he says,don't abuse it,just drive as you should drive an vehicule.
