Check Oil Indicator on shortly after an oil change
I've been having my Check Oil Indicator come on after every oil change. It comes on when the Oil Service Indicator says that the oil is still at 90%.
Do any other members get this?
And when does your Indicator come on?

^ This. On a fast turn mine would come on too, but that is usually when the oil reads just barely at the low mark on the dipstick when cold. So I fill it up all the way till it's full and the problem stops.
If you change your oil and check the dipstick immediately, try running the engine for a few minutes after, then letting it cool and checking again. Right after an oil change all the oil just sits in the oil pan so it may read higher than what it actually is once you've ran the motor again and got oil going through the system. I often find myself having to add an extra 0.5-1.0qt or so after doing this procedure at every oil change to get the oil reading correct.
