He was surprised that I have the warning light at 800+ miles.
I then checked the engine oil measurement via idrive and it shows just above minimun line. When I started the car again the warning went away.

Is this something normal ? Should I wait till 1200 miles and do the service. Pl advise. I feel I get more information here than my local dealers.

Thanks,

I think you're probably OK if it's low oil level versus low oil pressure. My understanding is the pump failure generated a low oil pressure warning light.

The low oil level warning is still something worth exploring. I've not heard of anyone else burning through a quart of oil before the break-in service.
