Engine confusion... .

[atilla_the_fun]

I use no oil the first 2000 miles after I change the oil and PVC. I then use a quart in the last 1000 miles before the next oil change. Has it occured to anyone that Isuzus recomended oil change duration of 15,000 miles (from memory I may be wrong but it was huge) was a bit scary

If you buy a new or remanufactured engine, does it come with 5 free quarts of oil already inside it?

Travis, let me know what you find out if you decide to try some of the less expensive methods. My little girl goes through 3/4 of a quart of oil between fill-ups (about 330-350 miles). YES that's excessive, but that's what she's always done. It would be nice to cure her thirst (at least a little).
