Any one get a low oil warning, prior to first oil change?

Has not happened to me, just to someone with another 235 that I met over the weekend.

It's pretty common for turbocharged engines to burn a little oil and require a little top-off between oil changes.

I typically had to top off a quart between oil changes on my 335.

Happened to me with around 4500 miles on the clock a few weeks ago. All the warning lights brought bad flashbacks to my B5 S4 days.

Odd... Guess my warning should come any day now.

I'll just request a few quarts... So I don't have to go back so often and do it myself.
