If it is not the PCV, then it is something worn in the engine. The
consumption rate (~1 qt/1500 miles) isn't terrible awful but it should
be better with only 155,000 km (100,000 mi) on the car. Has the car
been well maintained?

Probably not worth spending money on it now (except for PCV valve).
Just watch it carefully and add oil as needed. It could go a long
time without getting much worse.
