someone with your screen name worries me asking this question.
How many miles are on the engine and how is it driven? Did it happen all of a sudden? This may be fixable without a rebuild

my old integra did the same thing, try using thicker oil like 10w40 or 20w. or somthing to stabalize the oil. they even make oil stabalizer but i never tried it. but i hear it works.

Your car is burning oil and most likely your rings are done for! Sorry to hear that! I hope all goes well!

How is the PCV valve? oil consumption rate? Are the plugs oil fouled?

Depending on the amount of miles on the engine, I would say it is the rings, pcv valve, valve guides, or the return vaccum hose on the crankcase breather, or possible all of the above. Might be time for a rebuild dude.

Most likely your rings = shot.
