I couldn't quite find references to this in searches and would like to know the trib-pros opinion of this statement:

...try an oil change using a high-detergent diesel oil for roughly 100 to 200 miles. The reason behind this is that detergents tend to strip away ZDDP from the valleys or crevices created in the cylinder wall during the honing process. By removing the excess ZDDP by running a high-detergent oil, the engine's excess oil use returned to normal...
or about this 2018 article in general. It doesnt jive with what I thought I knew about detergents. https://www.onallcylinders.com/2018...h-off-the-shelf-motor-oil-to-save-money/
It reads to me as almost an advertisement and not sure what to think.
Thanks for your opinion.
