My oil consumption has been about 1 quart per 1k miles so time well tell if that changes. I will keep close track on that and report back.
I can say based on today's commute that my cloud-o-smoke upon acceleration after sitting in traffic or at a stop light is gone. Or at least reduced to the point that I no longer see the billowing cloud in my side and rear view mirrors that I had grown accustomed to.
Also, the morning cold start was smoke cloud free as was my start leaving work this evening. Typically, my car would send an oil cloud rushing to the exhaust fans at the end of the parking garage every afternoon, but not today.
