Default Oil Consumption

I have an O3 Wrx, and I seem to be low on oil a lot! I am having to put in a quart every month or two. I never smell anything or see any smoke out of the tail pipe. Any suggestions would be a huge help!
Thanks!

I think it depends if they got there very first oil change done , at the 1000 mile service , i was told that its crucial to the engine , mine never uses a drop and it had its all the correct services !

Mines uses oil but is on forged pistons and i was told they tend to use more oil as there under sized.

I top my car up every 500 miles with 10/60 millers
