Do you have any smoke upon cold start up?
Even if it’s just a small puff of smoke, it would indicate a possible issue with the piston rings in one or more of the cylinders. If you do, pull the spark plugs one at a time when the engine is cold and see what they look like to identify which cylinder it may be.
You may also have a leaky gasket somewhere and the oil is burning off
