My car burns oil quickly even after a fresh oil change. What could be done to solve this?

Track mileage likehow fast it burns a quart if it's a quart under 1,000 miles then have it checked for valve seals. If a 1, 00 miles per quart or more don't worry about it

One other thing I forgot was to check the pcv valve as a lot of times it doesn't work right or hose is partially blocked and will make an engine use oil quicker as well.
