    Oil Consumption and Sooty tail pipe

    Hello all, My 2011 SportWagen has been burning about half a quart a week. I drive around 700 miles a week. the tail pipe always was clean, but it is black now. The DPF was replaced just 35K ago under warranty. Currently have 162k. It's been running fine no codes. Should I be worried?
