hmm.. the spacer since the car had like 5000 miles and z tube/intake around the same time from original owner. exhaust components at 50k? and tune and art at 72k. and its been running lean since exhaust..so at least for more than 20k its been running lean. i'm pretty sure it was consuming oil before but art pipes and correct afr made it 10x worse..

So I put in 2 qts yesterday and thought it was enough. Didn't drive the car at all yesterday. Started it up this morning an it was still smoking like crazy went to check the oil and it was pitch black and still didn't look like it had enough. Went and bought and extra qrt of oil and now its stopped smoking....
2 questions:
It smokes like crazy since the engine is dying for oil?
And would oil consumption turn my oil pitch black? Cause it's been super black the last 3 oil changes all changed before 5k intervals
