Might be pulling oil into intake manifold thru PCV plumbing.

Don't let the oil get so low that Low Oil comes on.

if you are burning oil it would be blueish,check your plugs.get a catch can or a new pcv valve,do a leak down test.your valve seals could be leaking or you rings not sealing.check your coolant color.
