It might be nice to see the results broken down by engine size.

I'd also like to know why the 3.5 does use so much oil. Regardless of what Isuzu says, this isn't normal - AFAIK no other vehicle brand does this. "It's normal" is just a corporate cop-out to hide a problem. And where does it go? It's not being burned or leaked.

A friends 94 3.2 Trooper never did it, until he hit 80k mi or so. Mine's done it since day 1, and I only have 28k mi on it.

Other than that, and the not so great mpg, I love my Trooper.
