Default Oil Warning

I got this "add oil warning" a couple of weeks ago and I've only had the car for about 3 months now...has anyone else had this issue this early?

I was planning on taking it in to the dealership to have them do it, do you think they'll do it free if I have audi care?

On a side note, when I initially picked up my car the dealer told me something about free car washes that they do if you bring the car in... will they do it for me if I take it in for the oil problem or is that too much to ask for?

Thanks for the help.

I've read, and have been told, that B8s will burn through some oil, early in their operating life. It's ok.

Add oil, but don't add too much! Just a little bit at a time, and keep checking the level.

I actually just had a Reduce Oil Level warning the other day. But this was most likely the result of my 5k service. I went to another dealer near my house, and they were a little confused to how the other dealer could have made this error. In the end they dropped some oil out and I was good to go.
