Sorry my bad I misunderstood just reread it sorry. though I was not trying to sound like an A@$ if I did sorry

my friend another tip! check each spark plug look if it shows a kind of greywish to tan color ash deposits, if so, then you can be shure that the problem are the valve stem seals, I´ll bet on it I used to have that problem, my engine had good compression but it was smoking , and had to be filled up with oil every four days,also used to spend one litre every 200 klmts trip on a highway.

Do a compression test. If you have acceptable values, it's your valve seals. If not, it's your rings.
