Isuzu Oil Consumption

I am currently looking for people who have experienced the problem of their Isuzu Trooper's or Rodeo's burning oil, and/or who have blown their engines due to high oil consumption. I currently have a 2000 Trooper in which the engine just blew. It was burning oil like mad. Isuzu will not replace the engine, which will cost $7,400. The Tooper only has 49,000 miles on it and the warranty just expired 6 months ago. I am in the process of filing a law suit against Isuzu, and would like to hear from all of you who are, or who have gone through this same problem. If enough people band together, this can turn into a class action law suit. It's time us "little people" stick up for ourselves against corporate america. Please e-mail me at [email protected]

If you search of "oil" in this forum or any other Isuzu forum. You will find 100's of posts on this.

Your main problem is that the Manual states that the engine will burn up to 1 qt of oil per 1000 miles is within spec. If you go 5k inbetween oil changes you can run it dry. Meaning, check your oil, period.

I'm locking this trend, but feel free to add your comments to one of the other posts (like the one listed above).
