If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
Re: buring oil 1liter every 5 days
How many miles is 5 days? 10 miles? 1000 miles? Everyone drives differently.

I bet rings.
It may well be smoking profusely while you drive and you can't see it.
The catalytic converter can hide a LOT of oil smoke too.
Pull the spark plugs. What do they show?
