You sure it's not a typo mistake ?...  1ml / 1000km and not 1L = 1000ml.

printed 1.1 qt/600 miles also, so definitely not mistake already.
1 quart = 946.35 ml

modern synthetic engine oil evaporation is very unlikely even in turbo applications.

most likely it is leaking (through piston ring/seals, then burnt off through the exhaust) due to bad seals (or in turbo case some could be evaporated while lubing the hot turbine) and/or higher clearance especially under full load/high power applications.

remember, flash points for modern full synthetics is >200 Celsius
you have bigger issues to worry about if your engine is constantly subjected to that sort of temperatures.
