Has always been dealer maintained have all records showing the car has never been neglected with it's maintenance. I have never over revv'd the car, i hear this is a common engine killer. Also could a compression and leakdown test with good results and still have something broken and or prematurely worn with the engine? The consumption started at around 17k miles

snap out of it, Project N64.
I'm ah feared you are trying to compare red apples to green apples. Oil consumption usually has little or nothing to do with oil change interval.
I understand is that adding a quart of oil between 7,000 mile oil chances is not unusual for this engine. My 2013 FR-S takes about 1/2 a quart between oil changes.
I suggest you just follow the oil change recommendations in the maintenance manual and add enough oil between oil changes to keep the line on the dipstick near the top hole.
Now, relax and take a nice Sunday drive …
