To throw something else into the mix - I drove my car gently for 140 odd miles, then tried hard-ish break in (within the guidance in the handbook): -

at 1200 miles - oil display at half (run in service to bring back to 100%)
at 6000 miles - oil display at half
at 10500 miles - oil display at zero (topped up by dealer)
at 10850 miles - full oil change (Jan 2015, so most likely Shell)
at 15000 miles - oil display at 100%, i.e. oil consumption significantly reduced
