What to check next
Diagnostic guidance. Suggested checks and possible repairs are separate from the owner's reported results.
Clarify how much oil was added each time and how far the car traveled between additions. Provide any inspection findings already obtained.
Guidance references and applicability
Source: Original question and visible replies. Owner reports and other participants' experiences are distinguished. Next steps are editorial requests for clarification or existing diagnostic findings, not a verified repair procedure or an independently confirmed component diagnosis.
check your piston rings, valve stem seals, and head gasket. any of those could let oil into the combustion chamber

Discussion summary
burning oil
The owner reported that the car was burning oil without leaking and needed additional oil about every five days. The amount added and distance traveled were not supplied.
Reported outcome: No confirmed cause, completed repair or resolution was reported.
The interval between additions alone does not establish the rate of oil consumption. A reply suggested several possible internal causes, but none was confirmed.
