Exclamation Burning Oil

Hello. In a before thread, i ask about changing head gaskets, which i have already done, and aparently done it right. Anyway, the smoke that came out of my engine, is the same, and after checking a couple times i think is burning oil. I can drive the car for about 20 minutes, and then the little light on the panel instrument start flashing and buzzing, the oil marker light. I checked the oil level, and is a little low, i changed the oil just a couple o maybe three weeks ago. My oil temperature is marking me about 175 to 185 after 30 minutes of driving. Now, how can i fix the burning oil??? do i need to rebuild the engine? piston rings??? The engine i think is the factory one and have an estimate of 300,000 miles!!!!. Any input is

Thank you.

PPlche.

Re: Burning Oil

300K miles is more than you should ever hope for out of the engine, it must have ben well maintained. I'd say it's time for a rebuild or replacement.
