[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m trying to figure out how you didn’t notice right away. Didn’t your car’s idiot lights come on?  Didn’t it handle badly?[/quote]

The oil light you see on your dash is oil pressure, not oil level.  And the oil pressure sensor won't activate/work until the car has run for a bit since the pressure builds over time.

And handling?  Please, engine oil has nothing to do with the suspension.

Not sure what this link is supposed to prove. It even states that some oil lights are for low oil. Besides the PP said "idiot light." I'd take that to mean the "check engine light." That's going to be triggered by the oil level sensor.

Most cars have lights that show low oil pressure.  That is what that little oil can light means.  Low Oil pressure.  Some Audis, Porsches, Land Rover/Range Rover. Mercedes have oil level sensors too.  They are notoriously unreliable.  Other lesser models, like Honda, Toyota and Ford have lights that say check oil level, but that is just an oil pressure sensor.

Why don't oil level sensors work well?  Because the moment you turn on the car the volume of oil in the oil pan is constantly changing as the oil pump sends oil throughout the engine.  You can measure pressure reliably at the output of the oil pump.  Low oil pressure may mean low oil level, but there are numerous causes.
