Can you explain a little more? How can you tell? Do you see black or blue smoke out of your tailpipe or is your oil level lower when you check it?

its probably not oil, its black smoke, comes from running rich.

Mine does it too. Stock is pig RICH.

I cut my airbox, left it a little more free flowing, and the smoke died down, and my MPG went up, a little bit (like 1 mpg city, 2 hwy)

Also, you'll notice as the smoke comes out, your gas gauge will drop QUICKLY.

Finally, take a look on the back of your car. Rich running condition will leave soot and such all over the back ass of the car, from the turbulence of the air around it. Blue smoke would leave a slimy, oily residue.

Actually its from the pressure differential created on the back ass of the car... I did notice my exhaust tips were rather sooty...wonder why they decided to run stock on the rich side... you think cooling was an issue?

They wanted to lower incidences of motors going BOOM from running lean. Rich = Safe (but most def. a compromise when it comes to max power).
