Hi
I have a 1995 Chevy 1500 Ext 4x4 with 138K miles. Having a huge oil consumption issue with it. Burns approx 1 qt every 200-300 miles. It does not smoke excessively from the tailpipe but when I give it full throttle it does blow some black smoke. It does not leak oil, I pulled the plugs and they are all clean except #8 has a small amount of ash fouling. Compression is right around 130 on all 8 cold. With it using this much oil I would expect it to be smoking like crazy but it's not. It does not smoke on start up either. PCV valve seems to be working, I can hear it rattling anyway. My question is, with it using this much oil, shouldn't it be really obvious what is happening? Like badly fouled plug or plugs, lots of smoke, etc? Any ideas?
Thanks!
Tom
