Oil consumption at normal oil level

Hello! I drive an A6 2.4 Bj. 2000. If I tip oil, so that the track rod actually shows me the optimum (just between min and max), the consumption of the small so about 1 L on 1000km. Now I drive already since 5000km to minimum and also need nothing to tilt. What can this be about? Is it probably harmful for the engine, if I always drive with so little oil? What happens, if the oil warning lamp lights up in the cockpit, have heard that the only the oil pressure and not the oil level indicate t. If only he would consume as little petrol as oil – a dream car. Greeting csa6
