Please Recommend An Additive For My Smoky Car by McLizbae: 6:25pm On Jun 15, 2022
Hi guys, recently (about a month now) my 04 corolla smokes every morning for about 10 minutes after starting the engine. This may stop for about a day or two, then it will come back again. Also, engine oil consumption is now high. I will need to top the oil with at least 0.5 liter after every 80-100km trip.

Sure, my mechanic told me the engine need rings and stuff, and I believe him. However, I don't trust the process, I'd rather replace the engine. But while I still don't have the money for another engine now, I wish to manage the engine till I get the money.

Now I am looking at helpful additives that can help the situation of the engine at this time. I have read about some stop-smake additives. Can you guys recommend any that really works?

I was in a similar situation years back but the car was an Opel Omega,what I did was put two can original oil treatment into the engine and it reduced the smoking by 80% by making the oil more viscous,but I don't think modern cars now with smaller oil passages can take such,but that is your best bet,I drove the car for another 2 years before selling it off.

Don't add anything smoke stopper that may kill your engine bro. It is better you ring the engine with a good mech. It may serve you for another 1 year then you change it

Where is your location?

Nothing would ever stop an engine smoking as a result of mechanical issues. It's just a temporary fix(you're masking the main problem: valve seals are the problems).
