my 97 is using oil its not leaking it and it does not smoke or anything like that can someone point me in the right direction?

It's going somewhere.
How much oil are you using/losing?

Check your coolant for oil. If it's not there then you are burning it it a slow enough rate that it's not smoking.

A thicker oil will decrease the rate of loss. But its still a band aid job nonetheless.

try replacing the pcv valve. Sometimes if it gets gunked up it will pull too much flow through the crankcase and pull in some oil with it. This will also be apparent if there is a bunch of oily crap behind the throttle body in the intake manifold....
