Aye if it don't stop going down i.e. consuming oil then yes you may have a problem that wasn't the point being made :) ALL engines will find there own level and yes that may well be the full mark but i may just a well be the low mark. Also some engines do consume oil and are within design spec too.

You can also gain power by running a low level but that for the pro's

i heard this theory as well but i wouldnt like to say it in stone. my preference for oil is high performance stuf, 5w-50 for example that is fully synethic but thin at the same time, means things can move that bit more freely whilst stil being lubed!
