I just had my oil changed 1500 miles ago. Checked the crazy dipstick and it's about 1/3 down in the acceptable range. Does anyone consider that normal? My car is an 04 coupe with just under 30k. I put in 5 Qts Mobil 1 Supersyn 5w30 and used a K&N oil filter. I'm just wondering if I need to be concerned about this. By the way, does anyobody know how much oil it takes to move between the H and L marks on the dipstick? Any insight would be appreciated. I talked to a service rep at Troncalli Infiniti and he said it's normal for the level to dip at this point.

its going to burn some oil, no way around it

 

So you're saying that's somewhat normal? I just want to make sure it's not something I need to be overly concerned about. Thanks.

 

It's absolutely normal. The top to the bottom of the "normal" range is 1 quart. So, you're saying you drove 1500 miles and used 1/3 of a quart. That's fine.
