with that much oil usage, you either have a bad bad leak, broken rings,
cracked pistons, scored cylinder walls

With a nearly dry undercarriage, where else could it be going? Not rings,
valve guides, or seals. Could have been valve cover baffle, and might be
turbo seals. Is there any other place that can loose oil internally?

There is NO way that oil consumption in excess of a qt in 1000 miles
will be cured by what you are doing!! When oil consumption gets to a qt
in 600 miles Mercedes rates the engine as unreliable and insists it be
taken out of service since it can fail without ANY warning (and then
there's the matter of pollution).
Somewhere something is VERY wrong. I don't know what it is, but it's NOT
stuck rings or leaky valve guides or seals. I doubt that it's the turbo
seals too, but that's less conclusive then the my discount of rings,
valve guides or seals.
