This whole issue of burning oil has me wondering if it is being "burned"? It sounds more like a leak than anything, or perhaps it needs a ring job. Whenever my car's closed in on the 5,000 mile change period, the oil measured pretty close to full, but was very dirty. Burning a quart of oil every 1,000 miles seems excessive. I'd be concerned that there was another problem consuming the oil.
