I JUST BOUGHT THIS RIG.I AM AN OIL CHECKER THE LAST THING I NEED IS TO BLOW UP ENGINE. SO CHECK OIL WHEN FILLED UP RIG FOR FIRST TIME. LEVEL WAS GOOD. DROVE TI 300 MILES CHECK IT AGAIN ITS LOW I THOUGHT WEIRD BUT OK. SODROVE IT ANOTHER THREE HUNDRED MILES CHECKED IT WAS LOW AGAIN. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO LEAKS . SO IS IT RINGS OR VOLVES OR AM I STUCK WITH A RIG THAT JUST USES OIL IF SO WHAT CAN IF ANYTHING BE DONE TO LESSON THE CONSUMPTION OF OIL?
Have an accredited service shop to a wet and dry compression test on the engine
That determines engine condition
have the oil pressure checked using a mechanical gauge and if the pressure is below specs that indicates worn bearings overloading the oil control rings
leaks can be rear main seal or crank shaft seal at the front where the oil is blown away in the slip stream

The Isuzu rep. says that it is normal for one to use a quart of oil every 750 to 1200 miles per. Isuzu motor co. I have worked for a dealer for over 15 years. I have seen a few of them come in with no oil in them because people never checked it. They thought they were good until the next oil change. Remember these vehicles have a 4.55 gear in the rear end and running 80 or faster on the highway it will be wound up tight.

If the engine oil light wont go off it might be the damage is done and you need some major engine work .

Since your light is on, take it to Autozone and get the code scanned. The light is on because the computer picked the code up. They do it for free. Now, you have a oil sensor that reads the levels. This may have became disconnected or it is not working. You can take your battery terminal off and it will reset the light. If you need anything else, please feel free to contact myself or the others. We will try to help until your problem is solved. Thanks so much for choosing FixYa.
