Ok, let's bring this back on topic. Is there any recommended additive to help with the smoking?

um a wee bit off but sort of in line with this. my big white van one or two of you saw at the show the 2000 e-250 has over 198,000 miles on her and is all original. no engine issues at all i keep her that was with regualre oil changes and also when i change the oil i add a thing of engine restore to help with any cylinder wall scratches that may exsist. me my dad my late uncle and late grand fathers all swore by the stuff but only comes in 4 cylinder 6 cylinder and 8 cylinder cans.

all my tractors run military surplus dino glue of the 30W spec from a bit olive drab 5 gallon can. the van shall i say id jiffy lube synthetic.

i dunno additives mite not be good but the rite amount of dot 3 brake fluid like half a pint maybee a lil more an some wal mart synthtic oil did the trick on my smokey c81 . She puffed so bad i made one pass mowen the lawn an was complety smoked out . so i figured for laughs id try an ole auto auction trick added some brake fluid an sythtic oil an sure enough . Ill let you all know how long it lasts .. honestly how many people on redsquare think i am a butcher??

Hmmmm.........verrry interesting. Care to share the exact formula with us professor? I have an 856 i'll probably be selling that sure could use a drink of that.
Do we think you're a butcher.....never, a mad scientist.........perhaps.

I dont think im a mad scientist just started working at an auto auction at a young age , an picked up a few tricks. my c81 if you was at the 2008 show , you should of seen it puff i mean bad, full throttle mowing the lawn i can cut 100 feet i couldent see. so i took some walmart synthetic oil 5w30 an dot 3 brake fluid . drained my oil first over nite so i made sure i tal was out. then put in about 1/4 of the bottle of brake fluid then a lil bit more. then poured in the 5w30 synthetic an wa la no more smoke i can mow with out neighbors calling fire department . I will admit the brake fliud give off a foul odor thru the exaust only down fall. some good atf dextron3 or any grade really mix it with synthetic oil an it dont smell . but what i was tought but a trustworthy used car salesman ( SCARCASIM) was the brake fluid helps to expand piston rings an swell seals but only temp base. an ive worked at shops where cars have just start to smoke an leack oil we would top off with transmission fluid swell seals an expand pistion rings . ok i know some guys are reading this thinking to them selves i am nuts and never want me to work on there stuff i mean come on i got sense of humor gimme some feedback

and here I thought we were an honest upstanding bunch of guys....
It looks like the "Restore" product was the best viable suggestion.
That being said, I am going to close this topic before it gets ugly. If Karl wants to re-open it, that's up to him.
