There were plenty of threads about the oil consumption here. 1Qt per 3000 miles sounds normal for this engine. Just check the oil level often. I personally use 0W-40 Mobil1 to control the consumption. Others report that Rotella heavy-duty (or synthetic) is the best oil in terms of consumption. But in your situation there is nothing to worry about if you keep the level between the marks.

I have seen brand new cars that use that much and the dealer said it is normal. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
