    Vehicross oil loss

    I have a 2000 Vehicross, I am the original owner. And it dose not smoke but has always consumed 1 quart of oil every 2000 miles. Since I always change my oil every 2000 miles this has not been a problem. But my question is this the same for all of the vehicross owners. I have changed my PVC valve and have no oil leaks. And since there is no smoke. Were dose the OIL go?

    Visual Link.

    yes. this is quite normal.

    Do some searching on the site for "oil consumption" and clear your schedule.

    Isuzu considers 1 quart every 1k miles is normal.

    Here's one thread for you.

    Later in the thread you can find a link to the oil drip canister I'm using. It did help ... & worth the $16 I paid for it.

    Keep in mind that your catalytic converter is specifically designed to block as much smoke as possible.

    Good point.

    The oil goes into the plenum and leaves through the heads.
