Yes checking of the oil, I am used to doing that. I have had 5 Isuzus and most of them have burned some oil. The 96 Trooper I have now burns about a quart every 1,000 to 2,000 miles. It does not leak out either, I think that is a lot but is does not smoke and passes emissions well below the requirements; I am guessing it burns up in the cat or maybe it just magically disappearing oil.
I am so happy to finally have my VX I cannot wait to get the parts I ordered for the windows and get it back together. Also the ABS light is on and the emissions place wont test it with light on so I will need to find out what is wrong and fix it or take the light out temporarily to get the emissions test and the VIN verification so I get get my title and plates.
