My 2013 also requires a quart every ~1-1.2k miles. I basically do about 3 top offs between each oil change. I'll usually buy a Mobil 1 5w-30 5 quart jug off of amazon for top offs, comes out to be way cheaper than buying a single one each time. I tried to investigate into it when i first got the car but most people, including the dealership said it's normal so don't worry about it too much. If you were losing oil literally right after a full oil service (like 50-100 miles later) then i'd say there is a significant leak somewhere.
