Low Oil?

Is there anyway to know that your OIL is low other then checking the dip stick? For example like things that happen when your oil is low? Or is just checking the dip stick the only way. I was just wondering if there was any symtoms of low oil...

If you are really low, turn fast tight circles. Oil light will come on when the oil pump starves.

I would say just drain and fill to be sure oil is too cheap of a reason to ruin your engine.
