Change the oil, let it run for a couple of hours or better yet if possible take it for a long drive.

My guess is that you have a stuck oil control ring on one of your pistons, I doubt the compression test will find the source of the oil consumption.

I was recently faced with the exact problem, I had visions of a ring job but I was able to avoid this by changing the oil and since my car is not able to be on the road just yet, I let is sit and idle for a couple of hours, it cleared up!
