Like many of the others have said your rings are NFG. Either installed wrong or very early failure. Your compression test told you what was wrong you just don't want to accept it. Compression went up when you shot oil into the cylinder thus helping the rings to seal better end of story.

Secondly, I'm willing to bet that if anybody goes out to their car and does the same test, oil will just create a better seal on the piston walls and the number will go up.
And do you think that all 4 pistons would have bad rings in a matter of 1000 miles?
I understand this could be the problem but these are the only reasons I haven't pinpointed it to the rings yet

You have to listen as to wheere it sounds like its going. Get someone who has experiance to help. The other issue coukd be as simple os when the rings were installed they were not staggered leaving a gap for oil to pass. But the valve seals are also another known issue.
