How does it ask you for a quart of oil? Are you checking regularly and see that level is lower, or you get some kind of msg on screen?

I does seem like a lot...

5000-7000 mile oil change intervals, over 100k miles on the car, no unusual oil consumption on my end. Are you getting any smoke?

I would bore scope from oil filler cap to below oil pump gear and confirm it low. I think its an incorrect indicator problem and you might be over filling the engine.
