Low oil level indicator came on...

Guys, i recently got the low oil level indicator. This is the first time its happened, and it just happened recently (a few days maybe) after i changed my oil. I checked my dip stick, it says im full, and my oil pressure is good. It came on as soon as I turned on the car. I reset it, and it came on once more as i was driving home.

This is on a sts twin turbo z06 with a 402 and a lingenfelter high volume oil pump.

Any ideas?

yes, check the codes and report back...

im guessing its a bad sending unit on the sensor. common issue on these cars.

also, fyi, if low oil level comes on, you have 4qts left in the pan...
