That oil indicator is about as much use as a snooze button on a smoke alarm.
Use the dip stick, preferably after the car has been standing for a decent period of time.

000000 means oil level is full.....each 0 represents a level of oil.... when its _ _ _ _ _ _ _ that means your oil is low.
00000_ will be fine
