I haven’t used the restore, but I’d check the valve seals. Might be letting oil by.

I would. It would give a idea of the valve and ring health. If low compression is found then do the leak down test on that cylinder to determine the problem.

That's a shock at 90k miles. The truck must of been short trip and ran cold often. That is the only reason I can see 90k miles engine using massive amount of oil. Even with 420k miles I'm using 1 quar

Good day everyone,
Wanted to discuss with you guys alternative methods before a complete engine torn down. In a nutshell, I have been dealing with an abnormal oil consumption since I purchased the truck with 80K. I’m considering using the Valvoline Premium Blue Restore oil treatment as a final solution before parking out the truck for rebuild. I have my doubts about this oil, though it was designed for ISX Cummins engines to fix some of their new engine oil rings carbon buildup and is 10w30 viscosity. Please advice if you have used this product. I cannot think of anything else other than stuck oil control rings resulting in adding 1qt-2qt of oil every 1K. Truck doesn’t seem to have blow-by, just normal white steam with no pressure to blow away the oil cap. Oil cap remains steady when conducting the test. Truck has great power and doesn’t idle rough. In addition, I have check both inner and outer turbo housing for oil residues and none were founded. I even took the entire turbo to look closer onto the housing but everything was bone dry. All my vacuum lines were checked and found ok. No oil leaks either. It does seem to smoke a little during light acceleration first start in the mourning, but clears out after warming. I have tried different oil brands, but none seem to help. Although seafoam treatment showed signs of progress, 8k later I still have this frustrating oil consumption. Please share your thoughts and recommendations. Ty
