I'm not sure this is true. I checked my oil level again today and, after the car sat for about 5 hours, it was at about 13-14mm below H (3400 miles, no oil change yet). I added exactly one quart and that brought the oil level EXACTLY to the H dot.

assuming I am reading the 370z tsb correctly, for
3001-3500 miles, >=22mm is "no good", <22mm is good; therefore I believe you're ok.
