Go to the dealer and buy a couple of quarts of oil (my car goes through 1 quart in 2000 miles but YMMW). When the car is 1 quart low a yellow warning will appear on the dashboard with a message "You can continue driving but add 1 quart of oil". At that point you can add exactly 1 quart without any guesswork and the monitor will go back to full.
All of 2.0T engines seem to burn oil, which sucks. Unless the consumption is excessive (0.5 quarts in 600 miles) there is not much you can or should do.

Here is what I personally do:

Yes but buy the oil now because it might not be too long before you get the warning. Think of the electronic display as if it were the marked area on a dipstick. If the oil mark is in the area you are OK, if it's below you add 1 quart.
