I wasn't so much referring to the oil usage directly. More to the fact that a carfax will show the vehicle history of being in the shop multiple times for excessive oil consumption, pistons, rings, etc.. for a specific vehicle. Would you buy a clean truck with a clean carfax, or the clean truck that has a carfax showing its been menaced with multiple repairs? Or multiple attempts at the same repair... By the looks of the poll here its not ALL 5.3 AFM equipped vehicles that are having issues. So the person that owns a plagued vehicle will likely see less money on re-sale. Just thinking out loud I guess.
