It will only work on rubber oil seals... like what you'll find on the engine or transmissions' main bearing seals.

It will not work on head gaskets or piston rings.

Yup I'm aware that rings don't have rubber in em. Just hoping the problem lies in the valve seals.

I'd be more confident using High Mileage Oils which do the same & more. They claim to have detergents that are aimed at reducing sludge. If your engine is experiencing power loss & blowby, these conditioners or HM synthetics won't help.
High Mileage Oils are blended differently brand to brand...Amsoil's Signature looks impressive...Group IV & V Blend. PAO has lower Noack Volatilty(Noack Rest determines a lube's evap loss at high temps) than the mineral based lower groups.

No leaks from the turbo and lines, breather, gasket areas, etc. No oil drips on the garage floor. Just a puff of whitish blue smoke in the morning. No visible smoke as it's running.

Burns around a liter per 5Tkm though. Maybe a bit more. Temp seems to be a little higher.

High mileage oil is also what a friend recommends. Hope I can find some for a diesel.
