Very important that you check the oil in the same spot every time. I would always check it in the spot where I change it. It will show different reads in other locations its that sensitive.
When you change the oil put in the recommended 4 qts which will bring it above the sight glass window ( no concern if its high 2 oz ) then check in the same spot.
If your using 1 qt per 3000 miles its really no concern, just means your rings in 1 or more cyl. did not seat completely. You should go to conventional oil next change, Synthetic will bleed through the rings more.
Honda would consider it a problem if you where burning a qt every 500 miles not 3000.
Break in or riding habits have no effect until high mileage.
