At almost 50k miles, mine uses about 1/2 quart or so in 10k miles between oil changes.

How does that equate to the oil level screen on the vehicle? Does that mean halfway down like mine?

According to pp. 411-412 of my owner's manual, the difference between the Max line (top) and the Min line (bottom) is one quart/liter (yes, I know they are not the same).
