I was curious today what the oil level was since I am getting my 1st oil change in 2 days at the dealership (36xx miles). The oil reading was a little below the low dot (just barely nudged the end of the dip stick).

I checked it before, around 2000 miles and the reading was right between the dots. I am a spirited driver but don't think I pushed the car over its limits already.

The oil temp hit 240 once at the drag strip, it that matters.

So I guess I am not going to drive it much and keep it at low rpm until the oil change, and mentioning it to the advisor, since I dont even know what oil I can temporarely top it off with.

I really hope the oil burning issue would be just this "break in" cycle, and not every couple thousand miles.

Anyone else experience this?? inputs?
