Engine Oil level Low warning message

I have a 2008 Sportcombi 2.0T with 67K miles and received an alert that the “engine oil level is low.” The car is probably due for an oil change (last one was Mobil 1, around 5,000 miles ago). The engine oil gauge was in fact a bit low, so I added about half to three quarters of a quart of oil, bringing the level somewhere between the middle and maximum.
I have owned this car for two years (purchased with 24K miles) and have never received this message before. Is it normal for the car to “consume” oil? That’s how the owner’s manual describes it.
Also, after adding oil and starting the engine, it was a choppy start at a higher than normal RPM (somewhere north or 2,000-2,500). Is that normal after adding oil?
Thanks.
