if you just turned off your engine its fine... cause need time for all the oil to flow back into the oil pan mah... also is the ground you parked your car on flat level?...

if you parked over nite and measured your dip stick in the morning and its low than should top up... if you tink might have leak then put news paper under your engine over night...

 

for me i prefer the oil level to be in between... too much oil i dont like...

things like oil filter seal crack or never screw in tightly can cause leaks mah...

 

anyways 3months old, engine syill running in... should have lotsa of 'debris' in the engine.... so watever reason so long not below low or your engine oil pressure light not on sure no problem one...

New car nest to have full oil. For cleaning and trapping the metal filings.

Older cars can have lower oil, reduce drag and weight for more engine power.

What is your mileage after 3 months.?I heard some cars,esp V.W. cars used up to 300ml of oil every 1000km.

Should be normal,the service will just top up for you,nothing can be done if there are no leaks,just is the nature of the engine.
