Likewise here, top up required after 9k miles/6 months and then again at 22,250. The second was just 2.5k miles and 5 weeks after its 20k service, maybe some was lost during that, changing it wasn't included...

My 2020 Gen 2 S with 9k on the clock has just done exactly the same. Oil warning after switching on after a brief stop in the middle of a trip (engine already warm) which I acknowledged and a little icon appeared on the display which stayed there for the next journey. The car was on fairly level ground at this point. Then the icon disappeared and the warning never reappeared, even after a couple of hundred miles. As the car is (coincidentally) going in for its first service in a week’s time I’ll leave the oil unchanged.

I don't know how accurate the oil level gauge is but it won't do any harm to check it before and after the service, maybe even take a pic for comparison purposes 😉. Signed: Cynic of Sheffield!

now over 55k on the clock and have only ever put in 1Lts at about 12000 miles, I understand the measure on the dash is 1lts bottom to top.
