    Yeah, noticed early on that my VX was consuming about a quart every 1000 mi. Thats been going on for about the last 4 years. However when I checked it last time, a couple weeks ago, only needed 1/2 a quart.

    OMG, its healing itself!

    Could by that you're driving differently? Different speeds? I noticed that if I keep it at 60 mph or lower, then I don't burn nearly as much oil than if I hit 70 or higher.

    Possible, but I always thought that would only effect gas mileage? But no, I drive pretty consistantly.
