    knowing this makes me feel better about my pourchase.

    Paid $8,500 for mine
    All I use is Synthetic Mobil One

    I Just hope the Previous Owner Knew Enough to top his engine oil off under these circumstances!

    My Mechanic said Comression is good Mechanichally everything is sound aside from that the only things triggering the Check Engine Light was the Gas Cap and MAF Sensor (of which I cleaned) and Gas Cap Replaced..

    Strange though, Check Engine Light Went Back On a Week Ago After resolving those issues!

    Got an Apt For Timing Belt, And Waterpump Just waiting for OEM Belt to get here. I heard to Use the OEM Timing Belt Due to Isuzu Warrants the Vavles if Belt Fails....

    we shall see.
    +1 on your oil burning issue - very common. I would suggest to stop using synthetic oil if you are burning it at that rate - the synthetic is great if the engine doesn't burn it, but it's doing you no good to put super-expensive synthetic if it's going to go up in smoke (so to speak) before it needs replacing.

    If you have a K&N style oiled air filter, that might be the cause of your CE light. The oil fouls the MAF, so you either have to keep cleaning it or go back to the OEM filter (which a team of engineers decided was perfectly adequate).

    Good luck!

    Another opinion here, if you are getting a CEL, I would try to get the code read so you know what the issue is. It could very easily be a stuck EGR valve....
