Default 07 magnum sxt 3.5l smokes alot with p0300 code

i have a 07 sxt 3.5l and it smokes like crazy when you start it up and accelerate, its a oil smoke, but after its been running for about 15-20 minutes it barely smokes until u get on it. 33k miles on it and wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem

Are you using the right oil? If it's still under warranty you should take it to a dodge dealership and make them correct the problem.

I trust you haven't mixed synthetic and conventional oil? I think that once you run synthetic, you have to stay with it and it should never be mixed with conventional, even to top it off. My Magnum consumes about a qt between oil changes and always has. No leaks or smoke though.

with that code I think that is a multi cylinder misfire, you should take it to a dealer and get it checked if the miles are that low you shouldn't have that problem. I know you are supposed to change the plugs every 30,000 miles, however, I went 90,000 on the factory plugs without problem.
