If you are adding oil then you are either burning it or its leaking, if you see no leaks then its burning which it could be your piston rings are getting blow by and you will need to rebuild the engine. Are you sure your gauge is working? Hook up a temp external gauge and check, also your oil pump may be clogged or not pumping..

Mine did that did not need oil never uses oil it was the oil pressure sensor. A Bit@# to get to and need a long deep socket, pretty cheap fix now oil pressure good all the time. Before I'd get to a stop sign or light and have no pressure was freaking me out.
