URGENT: Oil level is low, but no leaks - recently changed it

[Andyville]

Hey folks,
I have an urgent use for my vehicle tomorrow morning, so I was checking my engine oil levels and found it was as low as (or close to) a quarter (or perhaps little less than half) way between A & B on the oil dipstick.

I just had it changed, literally, 5 days over a month ago as a part of its 20k miles factory maintenance.
Checked the ground underneath the vehicle and found no signs of a leak!!! I always check when I can.
The vehicle is stock 2023, but has a Ford Performance tune and I've ran on 93 Oct., up until just the past couple of days when I tried to run it on E28-E30.
I do hard launches often (albeit not from a standstill), but has never before gotten low oil because of it, and I know some might say something about that, but I can't think it could contribute to that low of a level, can it? And within a month of changing it?
The mileage difference between the time of service and today's is close to 2k.
Nothing else has changed, so what the heck is going on?
I don't know for how long the oil level has been this low. Is there something I should be worried about here or get checked?
Also, would topping off the oil on the fly do the trick here?

You can top it off with the correct oil no issues. Some of us run 6.5 quarts cause it is not uncommon to use 1/2 a quart between oil chnages.

Where is the level after sitting for multiple hours ?

You want it between the top hash and not much over the upper dot.

When did you last change your air filter?

Was the vehicle warm?

The reason why most people run 6.5 quarts is because of oil starvation upon launches.

When did you last change your air filter?

How’s that have anything to do with it?

Make sure you're giving the engine enough time for all the oil to drain back into the pan when checking, perhaps 20 minutes after it has been driven. Even better, check when cold. I'd also probably want to pull my plugs and do a quick read on them. If you've got an individual cylinder using oil, it's usually easy to pick up on.
