How does PP do with consumption?

[brian12]

Just wondering how PP handles consumption. I have a car that is known to have the valve stems seals go bad and I haven't changed them yet. I'm looking for a good oil to slow consumption down. It's not bad but I'd rather not have to add any oil or very little.

No oil can fix a broken engine.

Only on way to find out, try it for a couple OCIs and see how it compares.

I doubt any oil will do much for masking bad valve stem seals though.

Heavier oil helps with oil burning and leaking, not the brand or type.

LOL. Agreed. Heavier weight oil will only temporarily mask the problem, at best. I doubt the brand matters at all in this case.
