I just want to keep this thread alive...

Whale boy, what ever happened with your VX and the oil consumption?

I have been tracking my oil consumption and it has gone from 1 qt per 1000 miles to 1 qt per 500 miles.
That's using Mobil 1 synthetic 10w-30, driving about 80 miles per day, 1/2 city, 1/2 highway.

I called my local dealership (Bowser Isuzu) and they told me to bring it into them. They have to change the oil to whatever 10w-30 they use and an Isuzu filter. Then I bring it back into them after 1000 miles to see what the level is. It sounded to me like the situation that you were in Whaleboy.

Anyway, there's the situation, i'll keep you guys posted.

Joe

Here's what I've beendoing to keep track of the consumption:
