In the letter it describes doing an oil consumption test where they seal the system and you drive ~1k miles and then come back to see how much oil was used.

My only fear of this is that over the course of the 1k testing miles it's going to be over a quart low by the time it's done with the test and that can't be good for the engine to be driving around like that.

From what I read in the paper they're supposed to fill it to max and let you drive the 1000 miles. My worry is that they'll overfill so when it consumes oil it'll be at the "appropriate level". I lose a quart every 1,000 miles anyways so it's not too much of a deal for me if they fill it as is as I'll probably lose that quart anyways over the testing period.
