Comes to find out, my oil level sensor could be a little wacko. I drained it and got nearly the full oil amount originally put in. Ive been through 4 oils this month, cleansing over and over. Old BMW 5w30 oil. Then 0w40 Mobil1 "burning issue", wasnt actually burning. Then cheap Castrol 5w40 from walmart for a few days. Now running 5w40 Liqui Molygen, good stuff IMO.

With my latest oil i got low oil notification AGAIN. I put in 6.8 qt (MAX level). I added 0.15qt, level checked and (MAX level). After work, cold start the car and AGAIN, low oil. I drove home. Checked the level once hot and MAX level. I am not going to freak out if I get a notification anymore lol.
I would just disregard the low oil level warning from now on. Just wait for the low oil pressure warning instead.

I get the low oil warning after I flash sometimes. Lately more often than not. I just reflash and it goes away. Also I notice I only get the low oil warning after flashing when I select disable cold start feature. If I don’t select that feature to be turned off, I never get the low oil warning after the flash.

Don't follow my advice above. It was a joke. Waiting for a low oil pressure light is bad juju.
