I checked mine a few weeks ago (after going 6 months without doing so) before a long trip, and it was about 1cm below the minimum notch on the stick, and I had to add about 80% of a quart to get it to the full notch, so that was about 27oz.....I use synthetic (Mobil 1) and it runs sooo nicely.  I hadn't checked it since Mid october when I did the switchover. After I added the fluid it ran even smoother, and has been great ever since.
