I drove a 292 mile trip yesterday. It took 14.88gal of fuel (19.6mpg) and 10 quarts of oil. There is no visible smoke from the exhaust except at start or initial acceleration, pipe is black sooted, and the engine is clean and dry of oil spill.
Is it possible that the catalytic converter would burn up the smoke particles? If not, any suggestions as to where the oil is going?
