Default Oil change reminder

First time Audi owner here. We purchased the car in 9/2018 and currently the car has approx 6600 miles. Few days ago we started to get reminder about oil change in 28 days. I thought, the oil change/service is due at 10k miles. Oil level is at 3 bar. The last 2 weekend, we drove much more than usual for a total of 1600 miles. Any idea? Thank you

R, the first service interval in the USA is 10,000 or 365 days, whichever comes first.

That depends on how much you'll drive in 60 days, but my guess would be to add a quart when you are down to one. Remember, you are not out of oil, just down by 5/8 of a quart in a 6-7 quart (?) engine...

Sorry actually it is days. And yeah I am the first owner and I got my car on 12/2018. So far it has only 3400 km

Here is the screen shot from app( also I am not sure how much I can trust app, because when I checked yesterday it was showing 3 bars and now it's just only two.. maybe because yesterday I checked after a trip )

@achayan You're only 1/4 of a quart/liter low... no need to address... I'd wait for your service interval.

Yes, I was the first buyer in 9/2018 with 35mi in odometer. So 12 months will come first before 10k miles in my case
