Oil consumption After Premium Blue Restore

[Four Rings]

Hello all,
Now this is going to seem very stupid but please give me a pass on this one.
TGDI 1.6L with no oil consumption issues prior to treatment has gone through 600ml of PBR and MMO mix (3.78l PBR 113ml MMO mix) in a 1000 km.
Now I know you ask if it had no oil consumption issues prior why would I do this, and in retrospect it seems kind of stupid but I thought I would give my engine a preemptive good clean before I start my new round of tuning with my tuner.
It's not leaking oil anywhere. Is there anyway this could be an expected occurrence because of the nature of the oil or do I need to do a compression and leakdown test.
Thanks for any and all input.
Again I know it was a mistake...

IMHO try PBR again, straight (unadulterated), no MMO.

Give PBR a chance to work. Let it run per label instructions for one-(1) OCI. Top-up as needed. Then switch back to your preferred motor oil.

Premium Blue Restore.

I thought it might be. I call it VPBR.
I'm running a 20% mix of it in three of my vehicles. No issue.

I've been running 1 qt of VPBR mixed with 5 qts of M1 Euro in my 2007 GM gasoline 6.2L (w/197k miles) for the last 6k miles. I dropped the oil pan last week to see if it doing any cleaning. It is.

I must be dumb, did OP mean to say "It's now leaking oil everywhere"?

Okay, I give up, what is PBR????????

Now available in the convenient 99 pack!

Sorry to derail. What oil and OCI were you running before cleaning?

Thought MMO was light & boil-off prone? I've never been crazy enough to use it, except as a diesel fuel additive.

Maybe that's the consumption he noticed.

Okay so my cylinder compression in one cylinder is slowly leaking down on a compression test. I don't have a leak down tester currently but I'm wondering if I add a teaspoon of oil will this help me diagnose whether it's the rings or not with a compression tester or will the pressure still slowly drop even if it's a wet test?

PP Euro 0W40 every 3.5k mi

Negative. No external leaks. Cylinder 4 has a leak somewhere

Its a road hard hung up wet used car.

 

[fbdewar]

No idea what this means

Are you saying it’s using oil after you ran that mix or it used the oil while running the mix?

 

[fbdewar]

During the interval. I don't know whether consumption issues remain yet.

Might just be the mmo evaporated then. Hopefully
