Be careful. If you look closely, the top of the digital guage is overfull. There are two lines on the digital guage, one toward the top and one at the bottom. Before you leave each morning, check and make sure it's between those lines before starting the engine. Never use the oil check when you stop for gas as a reason to add oil, it needs to sit for at least two hours before it is really checked to see if it needs oil added.

As far as losing oil, check your intake lines that go into/out of the oil separator and see if the separator is going bad.
