He should not have put any type of cleaner in there. The only one those things help is the person that sold it. It is dissolving sludge in there now that should have been left where it was because now it just gets circulated throughout the engine.

You're oil consumption could be caused by any number of reasons and needs to be diagnosed by a competent technician and I don't believe the one that sold you that junk is one of them.

I'm afraid there isn't much you can do now. The damage is done. Frequent oil changes will help but it may take a while for the oil to stop immediately getting black. The oil consumption problem needs to be accurately diagnosed before you will know how to correct it, if that can be done at all.
