2003 Honda Accords - Oil / Tailpipes?

Hi Everybody, I recently purchased a '03 Accord and noticed that the're black residues in my tailpipe - maybe oil?? Yesterday, my car ran out entirely of oil - the oil indicater was blinking. There is not any noticeable leak - I brought it into a service center within 24 hours and they said that not a thing is wrong amongst car and that I just needed my oil change. Is this correct? How can my car go entirely out of oil? The last oil change was 2 months ago...and what's the black residue in the tailpipe?Thank you for the inputs...so my following question is, how can I explain my concerns to the individuals at the service center?? I took my car in a fortnight ago for the reason that I noticed the black oily residues - again they stated that not a thing is wrong amongst auto. I do not desire to argue with them if truly not a thing is wrong my car - however again, I only bought this car - I do not desire it to break down - I think the service center is getting annoyed. Please assist!

Honda Prelude using a lot of Oil?

My 1998 Prelude uses oil. it always has. At first it was only a quart or so in-between oil changes. Immediately everytime I fill up gas, I need to add a quart. Is there any product that truly works and helps slow oil consumption? I truly dont desire to do a ring-job at 140KThanksPS I've already switched from 5W30 to 10W30. Aslo here lately, I've began to smell a little oil odor (similar to a drip on the exhaust type of thing after oil changes) If it's a leak aswell any sugestions on where to look?It does have, as always a film of oil or something on the back of my auto, so that is the reason I feel that it's burning oil.The auto's interior and exterior are in good condition, however at 140K I begin to ponder how much $ I ought to invest in the auto. It has been flawless so far and I've had it since 32K.
