No burn or leak? Keep up with what you are doing.

No guarantee a HM oil or different weight would stop the consumption; but you could certainly try it. However 1qt per 1600 miles is not too bad and it also depends on your OCI. I would make the interval a multiple of 1600 miles to avoid draining fresh oil. (4800, 6400, 8000, etc)
Thanks for the mileage info. I typically wait until that quart is needed before changing the oil. This saves me $10.00.
