I read your reply to my post about my 2000 Isuzu Trooper and its
seized engine. Do you know where you read this information about the
clogged "oil return" lines and burning oil off in the cylinders?
Currently, Isuzu is refusing to replace the enginer under warranty and
I am going through the Better Business Bureau. Do***entation about
their engine problems would be most useful. As I said in the post,
I'm really upset with Isuzu because the oil had been changed about
4000 miles ago and I'd checked it 2 weeks previous. I've done most of
the maintenance on it and taken it in regularly for oil changes.
Any research leads you can give me would be most appreicated.
