Default Low oil light
Is there anyway to reset it?

EDIT: Oil was low. Damnit.

mine does the same thing. I think its the little sensor on the side of the oil pan. see if there is oil all over it and clean it up if there is. Also does it go away if you turn the car off and back on again?

It stays on if I turn it off and restart it. The dipstick has 3 dots...should all three be full?

The dipstick should show oil on at least 2 of the 3 marks.

Any idea of the distance between the dots? .5 quarts maybe?

The hashed area on your dipstick represents ONE quart. Of the oil is smack in the middle, add a half of a quart to top it off.
