my old 85 IROC used to smoke just sitting there in traffic. I used Bardahl- in the silver can. No more smoke at all. Still burned oil, though, you just couldn't see it.

A really good additive is a full package of Perfect Circles, and usually the +.005 ones do a pretty good job.

If the oil is getting past the rings, it's going to burn. It it possible that the oil is not being controlled because of sludge formation in the ring lands (grooves), and that a good engine cleaner can reduce that problem. If the engine has high wear, however, nothing short of rings is really going to solve the problem.
