With this problem oil weight is of no concern. Try what I advised and let us know what you see.

Did it burn oil prior to the intake install? How often are you needing to add oil?
The white smoke is definately an issue...I would drain the oil to see if it looks like mud...if so pull the intake and attempt to reinstall again to see if the problem persists. If you're burning as much oil as you've indicated then you must be seeing blue smoke....smoke during acceleration is rings...smoke while engine is decelerating (foot off gas) but in gear is usually valve seals. If the rings are determined to be the cause then yes a simple rebuilt is in your near future.
