Yes, it's possible but it just falls in the area of speculation unless the heads are pulled to inspect the bores. With the low mileage on the engine it may be the rings have never seated in - more speculation. I have an old big block Corvette that consumed about 4 quarts of
oil on the highway on the way home from picking it up. I changed the
oil and it dried up and hasn't hardly used hardly any in 20 years - at least for a big block Chev anyway.
