oil burning fix - just maybe if you are lucky.

This may be unbelievable but true.
My ML320 with 90,000 miles used a quart about every 1,000 miles. It also ran rough. I paid my dealer $75 to computer read the engine. He suggested $250 for a new EGR Valve installed. I wanted to check this site 1st. I was told to check the EGR Tube. It turns out it was totally plugged. I cleaned it. I also added Gummout Emission control cleaner to the gas. I run Mystery oil in each tank currently. My ML320 has used no oil for the last 3,000 miles. I am dumb founded.
The origional owner told me it used a quart every 1,000-1500 miles since NEW.
Go figure.
