I've recently noticed mine is about 1/2" or more below the low line when cold, and maybe 1/2" above the low line when hot. I have about 15000 miles on it and it's about 10 months old.
I park on grass and haven't noticed any big dead spots. I honestly can't say what the level was like when it was new, but I don't think it was below the low line when cold. I'm not overly concerned about it, but I am going to add a little.
