Unfortunately no it’s on top of the majority of its work although it does get a good blow out sometimes I put it on a dyno for a hour the other day to give it a work out to see if it would help

Some ppl panic when oil is not exactly on full mark of dipstick, personally I'd run it hard keep an eye on the stick but don't add any oil and see whether it continues to lower the sump or level out at some point. Those engines have a very good track record so I'd not be to alarmed yet. Some engines seem to have a sweet spot where oil levels are. Also most manufacturers don't recommend adding until oil is at or below add mark fwiw
The New Holland T6 where I used to work always used to burn oil until it was only about 1/3 the way up from the minimum. But it would sit there happily and not go lower. It gets filled at services and burns it off to about a 1/3 and stay there until the next service.
The D6 with a 3306 Cat engine (one in my profile pic). Will sit around max for months, then one day it will of dropped to below minimum during the previous day. Top it up, then it will be fine every day again for months. Engine in question has always done it, but is still running sweet with 13000 hours on.

What oil are you using? Which brand?
I’ve ran it to see if it levels out but it will just keep dropping I’ve taken it to the minimum mark before topping up
Genuine
No idea of work it did but it had extended warranty so it’s always had anything it needed
And quickly if you think it's starting to burn engine oil!

We had trouble with engines burning oil years ago we were using a well known brand then found out off a haulage friend that he had the same trouble. Turned out to be poor recycled oil. We changed to Shell and after a couple of changes it settled down. We used some Hunting after that as the shell was dear now we are on Morris oils.
