Question:

Is there a additive that will slow oil burning in my engine?

I tried restore with no results.

Answer:

Lukas oil additive. The real fix though is to replace your head gasket.
First of all power wash the engine and look for leaks. An oil burner will have wet soot in the exhaust pipe. It is not believable that you have oil burning at such low mileage. THe only reason would be the use of improper or VERY CHEAP oil. your pistons have a set of COMPRESSION RINGS, and another sett of OIL CONTROL RINGS. The OIl rings are like a spring with chambers in it, and the use of additives can glue the springs o together and form COKE in them. SO the idea is to CLEAN THE MUCK out of the rings. This can be done easily with AMSOIL POWER FOAM or in a pinch SEAFOAM (which is not as strong, more diluted.) Remove your spark plugs, one at a time. Fill the chamber with the FOAM and allow it to sit. Wait a few mintes and spin the engine around once or twice. This will scrub the muck off the rings. Put the plug back, and go to the next one. And so forth. At the end, start the engine and the goo stuck on the rings should blow out the tailpipe. Then get a FULL MOTOR FLUSHING with AMSOIL CRANKCASE CLEANER or B-G. THis will remove any extra sludge left. THEN use ONLY mobil one 0W-30 for the rest of the car's life. THis will keep the oil pan and system CLEAN as a BEAN and no sludge will form again on the rings. ANother thing to do is to clean the IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE which adds AIR to the injected fuel. THis will insure that your oil coes NOT get diluted with unburned gas. THe IAC is controlled by the O2 sensors. Good luck
Please list the year, make, model and mileage on the odometer. What temperature does the gauge on the dash say? There are a few other things you could try.
