Oil Consumption Problem

Where should the oil level read on a normal b18A1 (the kind in 90 gs’). I filled mine with the 4 quarts it took up to the top hole but it seems the more and harder i drive the car, more the oil level lowers. I dont have any ring trouble and it seems to even out half way above the last hole but before the first. I was wondering if this was normal or not?

your post is kinda confusing at the end, but the oil should be at the top hole if youre holding the dipstick vertically with the handle at the top… In the haynes manual it says 1 qt from the top to bottom hole though…
