Just thought I'd tack my recent experience on this thread, although I see the last post is almost a year old.

I guess I could sum everything up - VX owner - 10 days and counting, miles driven ~840 and counting, oil used - 3 quarts and counting.

More specifically - Just got back from the first interstate trip in the new VX. Checked the oil before leaving home and it was right on the top hole of the dipstick. So we make the first 350 mile leg of the journey and I had some time to kill, so "just for the heck of it" decided to check the oil again - GOOD F-ING THING! - No oil on the dipstick and it took 1-1/2 quarts to bring it back up to full! I remembered reading about the PCV valve on the forums, so I drop the $3 and 3 minutes to change that out also.

We do a little "around town" driving over the next couple of days then set out on the return trip. Got home late last night and I checked the oil this morning - SAME THING! Wind up putting in my remaining 1/2 quart from the first add and another full quart just to bring the oil back up to slightly below the full hole. I could probably crack open a fourth quart and add a few more oz. to get up to full.

This thing is literally using as much oil as my 2 stroke engines! 1-1/2 quarts every tank of gas - work out the numbers and it is pretty close to 50:1 which is the same premix that my jet skis use. It is kind of strange, though - you never see any blue smoke and the spark plugs looked perfectly healthy (checked all of that on the original test drive) I don't see any outward clues that the engine is an oil burner, except the oil just disappears (no real leaks either).

So I guess the big question is - Has anyone actually stopped the oil burning on one of these engines? I've read about the motor flushes, PCV, EGR, etc but does any of that actually work?

At this point I don't know what to do. I love the VX, got a ton of compliments on it, but with this oil consumption, I'd literally have to carry a case of oil in the back to dump in nearly 2 quarts at every gas stop.

It is still within the 3-mo 3000 mile powertrain warranty from the dealer. Don't know if it will cover oil burning or not but I may have to call and find out.

Any thoughts on the oil burning??

Thanks
