oil level graph

The oil level graph in my 11 q5 2.0 is starting to get very close to the bottom. Does this indicate that I am down by a qt?, half qt? or?

Thanks
Myron

The oil guage measures the top 1 quart of oil in the engine. So you are getting naer 1 qt. low.

I am pretty sure that I am using more than 1 qt/4000 mi..
