Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1998 ISUZU TROOPER WITH A 3.5L MOTOR AND IT EATS MOTORS OIL LIKE NO OTHER. IT DOES IT EVERYTIME I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL SINCE AFTER ABOUT 50K MILES. THE MOTOR CONSUMES ROUGHLY 1QT OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES, EVEN AFTER A RECENT OIL CHANGE. I HAVE LOOKED ON COUNTLESS WEB SITES AND FORUMS ALL OVER AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. PEOPLE JUST DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS WEB SITE AND WHAT YOU DO. THIS PROBLEM WILL PERSIST AND EVENTUALLY END UP IN ENGINE FAILURE AND CAN BE A VERY COSTLY PROBLEM. THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LATER AND A NEW MOTOR, ONE WILL STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM FOR THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT. THE DRAIN BACK HOLES IN THE OILS RINGS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE PROBLEM IS. PLEASE CONTACT ISUZU ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE THEN DO A RECALL PLEASE! IT WOULD SAVE A LOT OF MONEY FOR EVERYONE WHO DRIVES A 3.5L ISUZU/ACURA MOTOR. *JB
