A thicker weight oil will help- but it will be masking a symptom- not curing the disease.
Those are good compression numbers but still, add a squirt of oil in each cylinder one at a time and check the numbers again- just to rule out piston rings.
Remember that an engine is essentially an air pump- any clogging of the breathing means that the engine will pull in oil, not air. Just make sure the previous owner did not do some weird things with the intake or breather tubes.
Report back please....

Thanks. I'll check the pcv and report back. In my case I just need it to last til spring in which case it'll have a new ls3 heart transplant.[emoji106]
