Here's a related question: When I check the oil after a (long) drive, it reads half way (but still green) and says oil level correct. But when I check the oil after warming up the car and doing a short drive, it reads 3/4 (which is the ideal level).
If the difference between the max/min readout is 1.25 liters, then it seems the disparity I'm seeing is 312.5 ml or 1/3 of a quart.
Should I add a little bit of oil or not?

I just got the check engine oil level message as well. Was afraid to drive it so I’m taking the work shuttle. The car only has around 400 miles since new. Should I just fill the oil? Seems too early for that though.

No. it’s fine. It’s not a warning just the car telling you to check the oil level. If level is ok then do nothing. I have 4,000 miles on the car now and after the first 2,000 miles it hasn’t come back on. Check the oil level at every gas tank fill up. Had an oil change after a track day and they said it all looked good.

A notification just popped up that says "check engine oil level" after I started the car; it wasn't a warning. I see the little icon in the screen to the right of the tach, but no warning sign.
