It is normal for the manufacture to require verification of proper 
maintenance.

However, the law does state that the burden of proof is the 
responsibility of the manufacture.  It is them that must prove that the 
engine seized as result of improper maintenance.

It is well known that the Isuzu V6 engines use a ton of oil.  Isuzu 
claims that up to 1qt per 1000 miles is normal.  Is it possible it ran 
dangerously low?

Have you talked directly with Isuzu customer service as well as the 
regional representatives rather than just the dealer?

You can go through arbitration but do not know the success rate on that.

Write your own records of when you changed the oil.  They may not like 
that but thats all you are required to do.  Show records.  Again, the 
burden of proof is on them, not you.
