Mine is at 4,300km and it still says "OK'.
I won't refill it until the indicator is low or the warning light comes on.

The consumption looks a little bit too quick for normal day-to-day driving. Are you tracking the car?
Look at this post, this guy down in the US added in the first quart in 11k miles, that's almost 18,000km! http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...t=51317&page=5 Better check w/ your dealer.

Remember it's measuring the last quart of oil, NOT the whole amount. so if it's at 50% it's 1/2 quart low, 0% is only 1 quart low. Not much to worry about as long as you keep an eye on it.

While you are at it, check your parking spots to see if there are any oil leakage.
