oil level down a bit

Hi,

I've got ~15K kms (10k mi) on the car w/ the next scheduled visit in December. Last week, on the ride in to work, I noticed the oil level was down a bit. If the MIN mark = 0% and the MAX mark = 100%, the level's at ~80% (so down 20%). iDrive reports engine oil level as "OK". I've checked a couple times since and it's holding there. Note: the car was at 100% 'til now.
So the question is, should I bother to top it off (and if so w/ what - e.g. BMW synth 5W-30??) or wait 'til the regularly scheduled time (when they'll do all of that and more). I continue to monitor it either way.

Thanks,
--Antonio
