    Okay, I'll say this again inspite of what others have said against this method (Tone, included. God rest his soul.) I have found the problem with the VX engine oil usage has alot to do with the filler cover "O" ring and PCV valve. Specifically, change that "O" ring every oil change and screw the cover down tight using a pliers, and second only use the Purolator PV 1061 valve, it's superior in every way. With these adjustments oil consumption declines, as less oil is blown into the engine intake system. I know this sounds too good to be true, but try it, it works. We've applied this metod with our two '99's with good success.

    Hey blacksambo, at the risk of sounding stupid, where do you get the "O"ring ? I mean is it something you can pick up at like autozone or do ya need to order from merlin ?
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"
