Went to check my oil and for some reason i found that it was empty. Bone dry. I changed my oil a month prior and have not spilled a drop. It's not blowing black smoke nor fumes. What could cause thisto happen?

Leaking or burning it. That's the only choices.

FYI. Black smoke indicates a rich fuel burn. Oil burning is generally a light bluish haze.
Often times, light to moderate oil burning can go unnoticed visually.

I would suspect an issue with the oil level, check to ensure the dipstick tube is inserted all the way , ensure you check the oil on a level surface and if possible check your oil after the car has been sitting at least 30 minutes.

I would suggest to change you oil again and note how much drains out of the oil pan plug hole,

I would think that if your oil level was that low, the oil pressure icon on the instrument cluster would come on.

I have had a dry sump register good oil pressure. Thankfully that was a slant six, so it lived.

check to be sure your dipstick tube is in the block, (if this applies) i had a phone truck the tube came out and checked zero oil on the stick.

OK 3 days and no response from the OP, either the issue is fixed or he found the problem and is thrashing away in the garage fixing it!! I'm sending a pm to confirm!

Thanks for those with real advice

We all gave real ad is sir, I just asked in my second post if any of it helped, and as yet you have not, so no need to be rude!

Well all righty then - it seems this is resolved. Closed. :)
