Default Burning oil???

hey guys, my IS250 is just under a year old with only 9400 kms.
i was cruising with my friends along the highway the other day, and when i punched the gas, my friends that were behind said i was blowing out a fair amount of black smoke... does it make sense for my car to be burning oil so early???? anyone else have this problem?

That's not oil burning. That's 100% normal to hapen at WOT (wide open throttle). The mixture richens up when you mash the gas quickly

Now if it was blue smoke.....
