Low oil level @ 3,000 miles

I got around to checking my oil ,for the first time, @ 3,000 miles ( I know, should've checked it sooner). It was a bit dirty but mostly surprised to find it at the minimum level on the dipstick. Did anyone else have low oil this early? Also, feeding the diptstick back down the tube is sort of a pain in the ass. It's not hard but it's harder than it should be.

Yes on all of your above observations! I also had trouble removing the dipstick for the first time, it was really stuck in there. Last week I just got my oil changed for the first time at 3800 miles.

The guy who designed that dipstick has never checked the oil in his own car, ever

It is a really cool looking, substantial dipstick tbh! LOL Oh and it is also hard to reach back there.

And.....Another reason to dump breaking in oil at 2k, max.
