Wooden clarinets DO NOT have to be cleaned with bore oil. I have had my clarinets for eight years and have never used bore oil on them. It is a waste of time and money. Any reputable Clarinet repairman or clarinetist worth his salt will tell you that bore oil is a waste of time and unnecessary.

What is bore oil?
Bore oil is a type of oil used to clean and preserve the wood of clarinets, oboes, bassoons, and other woodwind musical instruments, as well as the raw, unfinished ebony or rosewood fingerboards of lutes, violins, violas, cellos, double basses, and guitars. It will clean and preserve most raw or oil-finished woods used in most furniture. It is made out of purified mineral oil, sometimes with a small amount of essential lemon oil or other scented, concentrated essential oils added to aid in cleaning and/or to produce a pleasant smell when applied.

drop your oil pan and clean or change the oil pump screen and it should work...I had to do that and cleaned it with parts cleaner and now it works fine..they tend to clog after awhile.
What does it mean if a truck starts burning oil too much?
you probably have a broken piston ring that is supposed to keep the oil out of the cylinder bore, the oil goes through and is burned with the gas. What Shady Mechani pointed out could cause it and the tell tale sign would be a blueish tint to your exhaust fumes. Another reason could be a dirty oil filter, a PCV valve that needs to be replaced, and last but not least slug build up in the engine. The last will require an engine flush. A good one would be Auto-Rx.
What kind of weather can clarinets play in?
An ABS plastic or hard rubber clarinet can play in just about any weather. Even in the rain if it is equipped with waterproof pads (Valentino pads). You can literally dunk it in water, shake it out and start playing, though I wouldn't recommend it (you'd surely start getting some rust on the springs and in the screws holes). In really cold winter weather like we have around here the high school band clarinet kids have a hard time with their fingers getting too cold to move smoothly and also with the key oil getting too thick, which causes the keys to get stiff or lock up. A plateau clarinet, which has covers on all the keys, would permit them to use gloves, and "changing the oil" to a lower viscosity (possibly silicone based) would help with key lockup problems. But plateau clarinets are very expensive and have their own set of problems (hard to keep adjusted, expensive to repair) and aren't something the average person adds to their instrument collection. The hot summers don't seem to pose many problems for the clarinet section besides heat stroke out on the practice field. With a wood clarinet you have to be very careful about temperature changes and using it outdoors in winter weather is very likely to cause something to crack - usually the barrel or upper joint, caused by the temperature difference between the outside temperature and one's warm breath.
