If this car is under warranty, then that’s reasonable. Make sure you don’t let the oil get too low at any point, of course. ---

If it hits the “add” mark during the test, then I’d bring it to the dealer and have them add a quart of oil and make a record of it. I’d be surprised if that couldn’t be done quickly in the service check-in line without an appointment. ---

You can’t check the oil during the test, everything is sealed with tamper proof devices, they don’t want you to be able to drain or ad oil while being tested. ---

The car owner was instructed to bring the car to the dealership weekly for the oil to be checked–and added if necessary.
