Some potential solutions to address excessive oil consumption include:

Regular engine flushes: Performing an engine flush helps remove sludge and other contaminants that may be causing oil consumption.
Replacing piston rings: If piston rings are worn, replacing them can reduce oil consumption significantly. This, however, can be a costly repair.
Switching oil grades: In some cases, using a slightly thicker oil e.g., 5W-30 may help reduce oil burning, though this should be done only with professional advice.
