I got a crazy idea... check the oil, if it needs it add it.... that being said, do a proper break in and you should be fine. Slthough most car manufactures consider a quart of oil consumption every 3k as normal.

I burned through a quart of oil on the first break in miles (2000) I changed the oil then, and then again at 5000 miles - I used about 1/2 quart between 2000-5000. I have about 8000 on the clock now and have used about 1/2 quart again since 5000.....I consider this normal cunsumption of oil......it does turn black in color really quick after the oil chnage, but I am told that is normal as well....I enjoy redline shifts on a "regular" basis too......I just did my first day of autox instruction at NHIS and I love my car even more now! - highly recommended!

that's cutting it close, if you were at 1.5millimeter I'd be VERY concerned

i really dont think there is such things as guidelines for how much oil you need to add on a fixed ratio standpoint. it is different for any car so i would recommend using common sense and check you're oil level frequently and make sure it is always at the full oil line.
