Happened twice now. I get in my car, drive for 10 minutes and the check oil warning light comes on.

First time I stopped at the next gas station, checked the oil level with the stick-thingy. Seemed ok. Decided to put in a few drops anyway.
Next morning I checked the oil level before starting. Still ok.

Second time, same story. Only this time I didn't put any extra oil in because the stick really told me it was ok. I just shut off the engine and restarted. Error was gone.

Feels like the warning is just a false one. Either that or I don't know how to use the stick-thingy.

Anyone had the same thing ? (I did do a seach, came out empty).
