[Spridgets] Engine Computer Compensates for oil Burning

[Chris King]

I suppose it's possible. The O2 sensor is the main feedback mechanism.
Logically, adding oil to the charge would "richen" the mixture, and the
O2 would lean out to compensate.
 
Still, it probably only works up to a point. I finally did the valve
seals in my Tercel when I went for inspection, and the tech revved the
engine and fogged the line of cars behind me! :O

I have seen it with my son in laws Nissan that had the bum 2.4 engine
where 
the cats were placed too close to the heads. Overheating got the best of
it 
by 100k miles. 

No smoke from the exhaust, although he was burning a LOT of oil. 

I was told that the computer changes the mixture after reading the oil
in 
the cylinders, hence why there was no smoke?
