    If it is burning oil its unlikely any additive is going to help for long. If it is leaking oil it wont help either. It sounds like you have deeper issues that will need addressed soon. I have heard of Lucas oil stabilizer being used in these cases, but I have never done this and cant say whether it helped or not. Better start saving some money for a engine repair or rebuild. The Kubota engines are very susceptible to dirt contamination through the air intake system, the rings and liners will wear out quickly.
