Take the car to the dealer. He hooked up a computer and updated the computer firmware. He admitted it was a software issue that the computer let the valve open too long so that it causes oil burning.
in case you didnt know, here is a tidy little thread discussing oil cosumption (and the Toyoya Service Bulletin) in the corolla. should only take a couple minutes to read.

Attention all 1.8L (2ZR-FE) owners
