5.0 oil level

I have a 2011 f150 with a 5.0 engine.the truck has 3800 miles on it.I check the oil about every 1000 miles and I have noticed that the level is down a little more each time.It is not down to the add mark yet.I am wondering if this is normal due to engine break in.I am thinking about changing the oil just to start fresh and keep monitoring it.Any thoughts or comments.

I'd take it tot he dealer, have them perform the oil change and advise the service department of your concerns.
