No I don't. I would check your oil level and add more to put it on the full mark.

Was it low to start with?
Hard to get a clear reading on the dip-stick? Let the car sit for a while. Pull the stick and wipe it clean. Stick it in, pull it out again. Should give you an accurate reading. If you've just poured in cool oil, it can sometimes take a bit for it to work its way down into the pan. Best to let it sit and re-check to make sure you didn't over fill it. Did adding oil take care of your light issue? |

It was down two full liters? That's a lot. You should check carefully for a leak.

Yep. So far, mine doesn't drop the level discernably over a 5000 mile oil change interval.
