My 99 corolla smoked a ton when we first got it. Roughly 312,000 miles. We ran it a while and it smoked up the whole neighborhood at idle and didnt stop. I thought it was too worn out to save and required a rebuild or replacement but we dumped seafoam and transmission fluid in the oil. A whole bottle of seafoam in the oil a whole quart of trans fluid went in too. (Way too much in my opinion but what have we got to lose. The engines already bad) I think we may have put a bottle of seafoam in the fueltank as well.

It smoked an insane amount and we idled it for days after dumping seafoam, trans fluid and what ever else we could find into the engine. It finally loosened up and quit smoking as much. I drove it down to florida...

It quit smoking at idle and became a usable engine after we did that. It still smokes some at full throttle and coasting down long hills when torque converter is engaged but thats nothing compared to what it was. I daily it and its at 382,000 miles currently.
I used to use transfluid in my 1998 corollas engine. It was tired and old. It seemed to help. It burnt a lot of oil. When i had the valve cover open its pretty clean. I havent used any of that in my dakota's engine and its kinda dirty and sludgy. I may try that next.
