Oil gets darker with age, no biggie. Now if your telling me that you have not changed your oil in years I will reach through this screen and back hand you. You may be burning oil due to worn valve seals, or a leaky head gasket.
I mean the engine that I got is a f20a sohc, and when I got it the oil was black, it seems like they didn't change it like for years, but now that I've change it, I could tell it's better now, due to the bottom of the valve cover, it's red now do to the quaker state 10w 30 High Rev synthetic
It looks kind of grey and black, But trust me It's not white I'll tell you that, I know what it means when it's white
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I thought grey/black smoke was fuel, White is coolant leaking into a cylinder, and Blue is an Oil leak... I've been reading all the "smoke out my exhaust" threads as I am STILL having smoe smoke issues.
Just Checking...

Description of smoke color can be different for some people. I am just assuming he is buring oil, becasue if his car was smoking due to improper fuel settings, he would be showing other signs as well.
