I have never heard of this problem that you have and there does not seem to be a logical reason for it to happen. Check the oil level before you take the car out and there is no reason why when you check it again it will be different. An engine can only use oil through valve guide seals, worn piston rings, turbo oil seals or actual oil leaks. If your engine has none of these issues the oil level should not change.
