Unfortunately, this sounds like a classic problem of cracked ring lands on the pistons. A compression check may or may not show a loss, but there will almost certainly be oil on top of the piston that is cracked.

We used Mobil 1. After the oil change: 1) The car emitted smoke from the PCV line to the air cleaner -We checked for vacuum (we had it) and replaced the PCV -She still blew smoke so we plugged the line from the PCV line to the air cleaner 2) The dip stick neck started spewing oil -Checked level, and while she was full, she was NOT over filled -Ran her for a bit and saw a little oil loss -She may still be blowing oil from the dip stick neck, #1 son needs to clean the engine area to confirm 3) The car began blowing smoke in between gear shifts out of the tail pipe. -This occurred when we let her RPM's drop off. There was no smoking in acceleration. -Ran her for a bit and saw a little oil loss -Car is still smoking between shifts 4) Thought we may have leaking rings or a hole in a piston -Pulled off each spark plug wire one at a time while engine was idling -Noticed that the engine bogged down a little each time a plug wire was removed -Bogging was the same for each spark plug wire removed -Did not do a leakage or compression test yet 4) Oil pressure (factory dash gauge) is sufficient Questions Q1) Did we hole a piston? Q2) Do we have a leaking valve stems? Any input and thoughts would be appreciated.
