Good point, but sadly it isn't the case.

Maybe this is not something to worry about, but I'd rather be extra careful in a case like this. I don't like to be uncertain when it comes to the oil system. I drive my car hard when I'm on the track (as anyone would do), and next weekend I'm going to the Nurburgring. I've already had one car towed back to Sweden from there, I'd rather not do that again.

Maybe the sensor is just very sensitive, and now when the oil system is of a larger capacity it's just warning because it's outside of standard spec. I mean, could be a number of things, but I would like to get a clue if it's a real problem I have.

Also, I drive my car year round and I've seen below 0 deg F, even below -20F with it. When it's that cold the oil is thick, so I'm extra cautious.
