So about a month ago I was comming up on a smog renewal.(Cali) My truck had been progressively burning more and more oil, about 2 quarts every 2 weeks. So i did some research, figured the plenum. Me n my buddy tore in. Replaced the plenum gasket, manifold gasket, and valve cover gasket while we were at it. Slapped her together and oil burn dropped very significantly. Getting closer to smog I need a new cat, mine was (cat backed) and by that I mean the exit on the cat snapped and dropped on the cross member, been like that for maybe a year. Replaced the cat, n threw a O2 code. P0132, talked to some mechanics at work n they said could just be the new cat n to take a long drive. (100miles+) see if it resets the monitor. So knowing my truck still had been burning oil I checked it befor I took off and it was topped. 134miles later the next day I checked my oil. And it burned probably a whole quart. She does put out white smoke above 3k rpm, but no milky oil, n oil dripping, no loss of power, n knock, no ping, no backfire, no plug fouling. Who's stealing my oil???
