    Thanx Dubster, good info to know about what is considered our "normal oil consumption rate". Sounds like Isuzu Corporation just wants to C.Y.A. themselves. I see the "Build Dates" on the service bulletin are related to engines built in the year of "2003", so that is after our production years of the VX.

    That is an Australian service bulletin for Isuzus sold here rebadged as "Holden" Rodeos (pick ups) and Jackaroos (Troopers).
    The RA/RB series goes from 1997 - 2003 IIRC.

    Most of those engines (6VD1) are a single overhead cam model putting out about 190 HP.
    But the oil consumption figures would still be relevant to the US engines.
