370 oil consumption

Hrmm...every vehicle I've ever owned the tail pipes turn black. I guess every car I've owned must burn oil. Edit: That was sarcastic btw. These are combustion engines that burn

These are combustion engines that burn fossil fuels. There will be soot in the tail pipe over time. Also, keep in mind that these cars run REALLY REALLY rich.

I have some blackness in my tail pipes and my oil level hasn't moved. Lets not get worked up over nothing

Black tailpipes are usually carbon deposits from the burning of Gasoline. The richer a car runs, the blacker the tips..

HEHE, I was editing my post as you posted this. I agree, I was being sarcastic.


Edit again: I did go back and read the OPs post though, and he has added in oil. I lost sight of the original post and for some reason thought this thread was about black tail pipes = burning oil. Think I misunderstood.
