Could not get the poll to come up, so here is my poll feedback.

I have an '02 Rodeo, 3.2L with roughly 26Kmi. I use about 3/4qt. of oil every 3000mi. I just had it to the dealer for this to find out what was going on. I've never had a "Japanese" built engine use any oil. They told me it was normal. I find this hard to believe.

Speaking of oil, what kind of mileage intervals do most of you use for oil changes? My manual states 7500mi. All my previous vehicles typically ran the usual 3K-4Kmi interval. My wifes Volvo also states a 7500mi change interval. Have engine designs changed/improved that much?

Thanks,
Rich
