Oh well.
That is unacceptable. Are you seeing any blue smoke?

No. The exhaust tips get covered in soot almost immediately, though.

Been through it all before, like I mentioned... although the 350 didn't burn oil anywhere close to this. I read about G35's back in the day with 2qt/1k miles and thought it wasn't possible.

Boy was I wrong.
