I have an OCC but it doesn't collect that much. low oil was one of a few factors starting to give me problems with VCT actuation/oil control solenoid(s). was litterallly just searching for a topic like this on here because i did the oil change last night.

If your car is burning that much oil, you have an issue, and I would look to get that fixed ASAP or you may be looking at replacing a motor in the near future.
