Could be. My buddy is burning oil big time, his rings are gone. I had a burning oil issue and I had a ring gone. Get a compression test done.

You can get a ZC engine for cheaper than the cost of a rebuilt.

yuo.,. do an oil change.. and you might as well put 10w40 in there with some stabilizer. See if it still burns oil.

It's most likely your rings. You can do a compression test to see how bad they are.
