Hi my name is Shaun. I have a 2000 Isuzu Rodeo and every week I have to put oil in. When I check the dip stick it is dry. There are not oil leaks and I also checked to see if maybe leaking oil from the exhaust and no it is not. Any ideas whats going on with my car

I had the exact same problem. No leaks, great compression, no black/blue smoke. I replaced the PCV Valve and installed a new Oil Pressure Sensor. It seems to be drinking alot less oil now. I hope this helps you too.

Suggested Repair

Replace the PCV valve and install a new oil pressure sensor, which resolved similar unexplained oil consumption with no visible leaks or smoke.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 2000 Isuzu Rodeo with a 3.2L V6 and standard transmission reported adding oil weekly despite a dry dipstick and no visible leaks or exhaust oil. An expert with the same symptoms, good compression, and no smoke said replacing the PCV valve and oil pressure sensor reduced oil consumption.
