It's probably normal in my opinion. Our previous car had this too, and because of this effect we found our our mechanic did not always change the oil (but did charge it!).

Having enough oil is more important Mine hasn't used a drop so far.

I'm still puzzled why UK owers are allowed (by Honda) to drive so many miles between services. Most cars here must be serviced at 10 000 km. Perhaps this is not really needed but will prolong engine life...
