1 quart every 1000 miles

It started using Oil around 40,000 miles. The low oil light came on which was the first sign of problems. It has not been low on oil since. It seems to be staying around a qaurt every 1000 miles. I was having the oil changed every 5000-6000 miles but have went to every 3000 miles since this porblem started. Is there an additive you would recomend?
