If your engine is consuming oil, the last thing I'd be worried about is what kind to use next. How much oil is being used between changes?

It says it is using about 1l per 1000km

1 liter is pretty much equivalent to a quart.
1 km is .62 miles.

So 1000 km is 620 miles, he burns one quart for every 620 miles.

Holy *****, that car is eating oil.

This isn't an oil issue. This is an engine burning oil issue.
