Might need new PCV. Start here. This would be easiest and cheapest fix. Couple bucks.

Colorado engines use oil. Just keep enough oil on your dipstick. Don't do too much drag racing.

Colorado engines use oil. Just keep enough oil on your dipstick. Not usually true. I have a 2004 Canyon w/3.5 5 cylinder. 238,660 miles and a 5 speed transmission. It doesn't use any oil until there's 5-6 thousand miles on it and then its changed. With filter. I purchased it new, Jan. 2004. Best little truck. Normal parts wear out. Brakes, exhaust etc. Its a little rusted out on the rockers. I wouldn't take $2000 for it right now. Its my trapping ride.

Sounds like another trip to the junkyard in the near future. U should take urs to junkyard I do have a 2000 chevy 1/2 ton that needs to go. Frame broke above each rear wheel well, but will still run. Has 240000 miles on it and never changed oil filter in 70000 miles. Just dumped oil in it as it had a leak in rear main seal. Was seeing how far it could go, welded frame once but re- broke. Unlike yourself, I owe nothing on the 4 vehicles, side x side and 4 wheeler I have.
