Oil consumption during break in?

Oil consumption during break in?
I have just over 600 miles on my '05 MCS. I noticed I was half a quart below full and topped her off. I do not know what the oil level was from new (I hope full).
I know that some oil consumption is normal until the rings get worked into the bores.
I am curious to know what others have experienced.
Thx,
Erik

OK. I admit it, I need some help on this one. I just checked my oil after reading this post. I'm a little confused by my dip stick.
Yellow plastic tip about 1" long toped with a black dot then the yellow continues for about another 1/2" or so.
I'm assuming that "normal" is the black dot? Correct?
I miss my old stick is was for dumbies and said min and max with an arrow. Leave it to the brits to screw me up..
