The piston rings are worn out.oil is getting into the combustion chambers, and is being burnt along with the gas and air. yes it will ruin the catalytic converter. solution is to either re-ring the engine, replace crankshaft bearings, bore and hone the cylinders. or replace the entire engine with a remanufactured unit if you intend to keep the car. you didnt say how many miles are on this car. if its over, say, 150k, you might consider replacing the entire car. seriously.used motors are a gamble as they could be just as bad. complete eng replacement is best,with warranty.
