Check again please. Don't know if I read you right, but no way could .5 qt fill from L to H.
As I sTated above, I strongly believe it takes 2 qts to raise the level from L to H. Hopefully, I am wrong but if you put 3,500 miles and you went down to almost the "L" mark, this means that you are consuming 1 qt every 1500 miles. This is 'almost' at the 'no good engine' range using the TSB chart.

Basically, I've used 0.5-0.6 qt of makeup oil since my oil change over 5000 miles ago. Engine still only has 7500 miles on it.
