1. On the oil dipstick, I see 5 diamond-shaped markings between the L and the H (or F, can't remember). Does each marking represent some quantity of oil?

2. As of now, the bottom 3 markings have oil and the top 2 don't when I pull the dipstick out. Car is @ 2100 kms, have been up to 8-9k rpm TWICE only, have been up to 6k rpm THREE times only. (yeah i keep track, pathetic isn't it?). Is that normal?

3. If I want to put some oil to replenish what was lost, what kinda of oil should I use? Synthentic?

NOT synthetic. Says in the owners manual.

It's normal to keep track of how many times you've redlined it. What ISN'T normal is how few times you have.

Regular 10W-30 (I like Castrol). Don't use synthetic until your engine is fully broken in (10,000 miles)

All of the answers to these questions can easily be found in your owners manual. I strongly suggest you pull it out and go over it cover to cover. There's a ton of great info. in there that will add to your enjoyment of your car and increase your knowledge.
