Help! 2011 fx35 killing wildlife from so much smoke!
After being on the highway for 3hrs, I pulled up to a stop and the oil light came on and turned off. I stopped checked and saw the dipstick was barely showing any...and it was sludgy. I added a quart of 10w40 from the gas station just to get me home. The next day, it blew some smoke out the pipes, and made some valve tapping noise. I backed off and limped to get an oil change. I flushed it with a quart of Gunk right before they did the change. Soon after, the smoking got worse, then the tapping got worse. I changed the pcv to no effect, but did notice the intake was really dirty and sooty. So, I flushed the oil with atf/oil....twice. The oil is super clean now. However, it is smoking (blue/white) worse than ever when I give it any gas. Plus, while accelerating, I hear a little tapping (but not nearly as much as before). So, what do you think? Could clogged oil lines csuse this? Sticky valve? (How do I fix that?) Did I dammage the valve stem seals or rings that fast? (I hope not, nobody wants to touch valve seals).

If you've run this VQ with so little oil, there's a good chance there's permanent damage. Rings or bearings could be the main suspects; how many miles do you have on this FX anyway?

Best thing to do OP is to drain all the oil, pull the filter and oil plug and leave them shitz off then run that ***** up a steep hill at full throttle. That'll clean it out.

If you are burning oil thru the exhaust you have piston ring damage due to low or no oil lubrication in your cylinders which has cause irriversable damage as mentioned above. There is nothing you can do besides either pony up the cash to rebuild/swap the motor or sell it and cut your losses.
I know they sell Engine Restore at auto places like Autozone that say they restore compression by adding it in your engine, not sure if its a snake oil product. You can try using that, but its only a temporary solution to your permenant problem.
