The service manager informed me that the lower and upper level marks represent about 900ml of oil, can anyone confirm that?

I'd check with Honda about the oil use; a quart in 600 miles is entirely too much loss ( 1 liter per 1000 kilometers) for safety. Indeed everyone should check their oil at least once per week but that much oil loss is close to having a lubrication problem due to non oil pickup that its really a serious consuideration. And needs determinig just why the oil is dropping. A bad seal for example could lead to immediate loss of oil and castastrophic engine damage.
PS We have verified on many occasions that the upper and lower marks are close to 1 quart, or about 900 ml.
