Major Engine Problem

The change interval in the VX manual is also 7500 miles - only 3K under extreme conditions.

If Isuzu's own manual says the change interval is 7,500 miles, then how in the h*ll can they turn around and say 1 quart per 1,000 miles is normal consumption!

I would be interested to know if anyone has a copy or has seen a copy of the IB00-01-5002 service bulletin pertaining to excessive oil consumption.

I really don't have much of a life and have a good amount of free time. I'm about ready to go Erin Brokovich on Isuzu's a** and start research for a class action law suit. Just from what I've read on vehicross.info and vmag it seems Isuzu has been actively attempting to muddy the waters as to their defective product and their culpability in refusing to issue a recall.

VX owners who have had problems with the 3.5 L V-6's and Trooper owners need to get together and see just how many engines have this problem.

Again, I'm appreciative of all the members who post on this site. Being able to read through these forums has provided me with much of the information I need to resolve my own engine problems proactively rather then waiting for the rods to hit the pavement.
