I EXPERIENCED it. I HAVE PROOF. I KNOW that it burned the same amount, qt/250
mi, on brand new oil! It doesn't matter how new the oil is if your oil control
rings are stuck!!! Think about it!!

Obviously you don't know what you're talking about since you quote "piston
rings expand" when oil gets dirty.

And your point is?

Yeah, and neither does mine. You still haven't proven that it stops oil
burning. Why? Because it doesn't.
