All below, I also have a '98 Trooper that is consuming oil...1 litre / 1200 hwy kilometres (1 qrt / 800 hwy miles). It seems consumption is worse when city driving. No sign of leakage. Dealer is tracking oil consumption. The vehicle was bought used at 121,000 km (~80,000 miles). The dealer seems blank regarding consumption: they have done a detergent and hot oil soak. from the threads below it seems like a oil drain-back problem in oil control rings (and maybe be heightened by poor PCV system which increases crankcase pressure not aloowing the oil to drain effeciently). I'm going to follow through with dealer's oil consumption report and do more digging.
Athmos, please let me know of the response you recieve from Isuzu? we all should unite, coordinate and demand resolution.
