I'm talking about the engine oil, not the supercharger oil (which is different and self-contained). When the car was first started up and run during supercharger install, I do remember a bit of smoke and definitely more carbon turning the inside of the exhaust tips black. This went away after a few days.

I've been using mobil 1 for my last two oil changes supercharged and I don't notice any loss in oil. I've never had to add oil between oil changes since I owned the car.
