Funny - mine just came on driving to work. Currently at 5500 KM (so roughly 3400 miles).

No need to worry. The beast needs a lot of lubrication :-)

Very normal. Car eats oil at the beginning. You will keep getting these even after adding oil until well after your first oil change. No need to worry or take to the dealer.

You must be fancy footing it--- LOL I saw that warning with about 1200 miles (if not less). Just add a quart of any 229.5 oil - I use Mobil 1 5-40 ESP.

Warmer climate- 5-40 is ideal...

Make sure its 229.5 denotation- Mobil 1 is the recommended oil though.
