The first couple of changes after I switched to Mobil 1 (at 14k miles on my '02) it burned about a quart every 3000 miles. After that it decreased and now (5th or 6th) hardly burns any.

A quart every 1000 miles seems excessive.

how hard do you drive your car? that tends to be a good question to ask, also do you see smoke out of your exhaust?
