Sounds like low miles. Many have switched in that range with no problems. You could try a solvent type product in the oil that claims to free sticking ring and valves. It will be a 10 or 12 ounce can. Feels watery when you shake it. The type that you can drive with in the oil. Run that a few days before you change the oil. I have seen this work. One was a V8 that was blowing blue smoke from sticking rings. One can fixed it. Did a second one for good measure later (was not my vehicle). Another was a ford V6 that started to use some oil where no detectable consumption was seen before. The owner changed the oil often and used dyno. Suggested a can of snake oil, and the oil consumption stopped. Would appear to have been early piston ring sticking. AutoRX would work too. But it is not cheap! The snake oil addatives can work and many are low cost. There are also 1 quart engine flushes that can do some of the same. Once added, you cannot put any load on the engine. So if you use ramps to change your oil, you cannot drive onto the ramps after you add the flush.

So you can elect to use some of these 'cleaners'. Used properly, they will do no harm. You might need them, might not. AutoRX is probably the most effective.
