The higher mileage might result in increased oil consumption but there are plenty of Gen 1s out there with well over 100k miles that have had no major work on the engine internals.
There's not many who've replaced pistons or rings, and no 'typical' replacement mileage, either. If the oil consumption increases on these, it tends to be inlet valve guide seals that are the culprit.
The light will tend to come on around midway between the lines or lower when accelerating hard. Again, no hard and fast level to tell you on this. The switch is working normally because it's warning you when the oil level is lower than full
Just keep the oil level topped well up and don't lose any more sleep over it.
