Anyway no service light, or any indicator ever came up, and the first service wasn't quite due. And since I've never had anything like this in the last 35 years of car ownership with all previous Toyota's, Acura's, even GM. Its kind of unexpected. I've never had to add oil that quickly?

So maybe its a feature, or bug, but certainly unexpected...

THX for your input, I guess I won't sell the car as soon as i get it back, and maybe this serves some educational purpose for others.
I know the feeling, I've owned over 29 cars, most new and never had to put oil in. I used to change my oil every 1k miles but now I do mostly freeway driving so I what until 2500- 3000 miles. I use nothing but Castrol Oil and Chevron gas. I was a 1/2 qt low on my new Z with less than 600 miles on it. Sure hope this isn't a problem, I am very particular and meticulious about break in procedures etc. Sounds like I'll have to find another good synthetic oil like Red Line or Royal Purple etc according to some of the threads due to oil temps.
