Guess you didn't check this 6 yr old vehicle out very well before you bought it, so quit complaining? You've got 20+ posts on things that you could have found information on had you searched.

EGR has absolutely NOTHING to do with oil burning or engine failure. Oil consumption is not necessarily an indication of pending engine failure - could be the valves are not adjusted properly or rings sticking. It WILL cause failure if you don't regularly check and add oil. Most all of the engine failures on here, when checked for oil, were off the dipstick. Coincidence?
