it wasnt a constant smog of black smoke, it was just when i hit the gas hard one cloud of smoke came out. and if it was oil i think the smoke would be kinda white

Generally..black smoke means the too much fuel/running rich. If it was burning oil, generally, the smoke would be blueish/black.

Do you drive fast a lot, or are you a very conservative driver?
