I've had my Isuzu Trooper 3.5 V6 petrol auto for six months and I've just had to put over 3 litres of oil into the engine to get the level back to max. The car has now consumed 6 litres of oil in approx 2000 to 3000 miles. This is way higher than any car I've owned before. There's no oily deposit at the tailpipe, just dry soot, and no visible oil leak. The car has 110'000 on the clock and otherwise drives very well.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't all the common oil loss routes result in the oil being burnt up and showing up at the tail pipe?
I've got a spare Trooper that I use for spares. The previous owner of the donor Trooper kept a log book which shows he was putting in ½ litre of engine oil every couple of thousand miles, which seems way more normal for me. Same engine, and same mileage car. I'm thinking of swapping the engine over.
