Just back from vacation. Car took 2 full quarts to get it to the upper portion of the normal range according to the gauge. Only have about 450 miles on it since I bought it and will monitor oil level very closely. Wonder if the selling dealer (VW/chevy place) didn't check the level when they changed the oil.

Checked it while cold and on level surface. No signs of oil leak, no smoke, etc. I think it was just low...

If this weather would cooperate I could drive it more!
