I clicked the link, it looks like a 30w oilThinking about trying FTC-Decarbonizer on a 2007 Honda Civic myself.
Bought 4 years ago with no history on vehicle with 121k on odometer, now has 156k
It has always used about 1 quart of oil every 2k.
Other than oil consumption no other issues.
RedLine SL-1 used several times over the years along with Amsoil PI.
For all I know rings may have lost there tension or was this way from the factory.
Looking dipstick & under valve cover looks like previous owner went to long on the OCI.
Thinking maybe rings could be caked.
Trying HPL engine cleaner to solve this.
