As another data point- I remember getting the "check engine oil" notification at some point during my 991.2 GT3 break-in as well. I followed the procedure and it measured as fine. I don't think I've seen it again since (at 3500 miles now), but this is a good reminder to run it again and do another check to see how much was consumed before it goes in for the first service.

I just had my dealer change the oil in my car for the first time at 3800 miles. The car displayed that warning a few weeks ago and when I checked it the level was fine. BTW the dealer used Mobil 1 0W40

991.2GT3 will issue that message as a memo (in blue) based on km or time. Porsche just wants you to check oil level from time to time.
991.1GT3 will issue that message as a warning (in yellow) any time there is an issue with oil level. .2 would naturally do the same in case of an issue (yellow warning)

DO NOT ADD OIL.

It's just a courtesy reminder. It's NOT a warning that your oil level is low. Simply check the oil and if it says oil level correct, then you're good to go.
