Uses 4qts of oil every 5000 miles
dealer said that's normal for this engine.
Good handling SUV, but poor engine.
I just found out the same thing on my 02 Rodeo. 1qt. per 1000 miles is what the dealership service dept. told me. I wish they would have told me before I bought this. No wonder Isuzu is fading away.
I have a 2000 Rodeo. I just was advised to add 1 quart with every other fill up. I went through 3 quarts on a 1100 mile road trip.
Just where is this oil consumption going? Mine is doing the same thing now, after 91,000 miles. Sad situation.
Be sure to read the oil consumption info on www.isuzufaq.com.
I just switched to Rotella T 15/40 oil... I'll keep ya posted...

Well, It's been 1200 miles since I switched to 15w40 Rotella T and so far my 2000 Rodeo hasn't consumed any oil. :)

99 Rodeo same oil burn problem. Tried the Rotella... no difference, even after a seafoam treatment. I was really hoping this would work, but it burns just as fast as anything else.
