I do not have any oil on my driveway so I am assuming it is getting used up. I haven't got a chance to check under it just yet for leaks but no
spots on driveway.
Yes, you will need to top it off after 6-7K miles after an oil change.. you have to add 1 quart to get it to the max level again. Totally normal.
