how do you know it doesn't smoke?
have you driven behind it while its revving at high rpm?

if it smells like oil is burning, the engine is burning oil.

how low does your oil level get in between fillups?

If you dont want your car breaking down, why are you driving it like a race car? You cant expect to dog on a stock car and expect it to last you.

Chances are, its burning oil, wether you see it smoking or not.

youre probably just burning oil. nothing too major. your stock block is notorious for burning oil.

and when your cel comes on, dont hesitate to check your ecu for a code. that can help too.
