There are no leaks 100% sure on that, this has not been an overnight issue it has burned oil like this over the past couple years and through several oil changes at a pretty consistent rate.

Haven't noticed any smoke, I guess I should have someone follow my car to be sure as maybe they would be able to see something I can't while driving.

And yes, tail pipes are black and have plenty of soot (however this may be escalated due to the fact that i'm running a test pipe).

I just added the engine restorer to my car today, I will keep you guys updated on the progress, apparently it takes 500 miles for the stuff to take effect.

bg44k stops oil consumption when I use it in my M45, a lot of other infiniti guys swear by it too...infinitis' have a big issue with this, and it is considered "normal" by infiniti's service dept for my car to consume up to 1 qt. of oil per 1k miles!

anyhow It works for me, I stocked up and picked up 4 cans on ebay.

btw it is a fuel additive, injector cleaner

Just an update, this product did absolutely nothing to slow down my oil consumption. The consumption rate stayed consistent to what it was before using the additive even after a couple thousand miles.

Not sure if this tells me anything about the condition of my car, can't say i expected it to do much but there was absolutely no change at all just thought i'd update everyone.
