That's a bit much for only 1700 miles, unless you ran full throttle for the whole 1700
But you will find the R consumes more oil in between oil changes than lower performance cars. I have used nothing but Syntec since day one, an I consume about 1 quart between oil changes (3000miles or less),
being turboed doesn't help either....

My car only has 45000 miles, but has consumed since the first oil change.
