So I was in Boca Raton, FL for a family gathering last weekend. During which time, I borrowed my mom's 1996 Trooper (160,000 miles on the clock). I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised to find the Trooper running strong. I went on the highway with it at 80mph with no problem. The truck idles a little low which I was concerned about, and it's bleeding oil like a stuck pig underneath the engine (I'm not sure what is going on, the entire bottom end of the engine was wet with oil and dripping). Strangely enough, the oil level was full and the oil was really clean and not black at all. My mom said she gets the oil changed every 2 months, whether she goes 30 miles or 3000. Anyway, it was cool to poke around under the hood and check things out now that I have a little Isuzu experience under my belt.

On another note, I started using the Mobile-1 High Mileage oil in my VX and it might just be in my head but the VX seems to be running better than ever on it.
