:agree


BUT.........check the oil level when the engine is COLD...checking when hot will give a false level as some of the oil will still be at the top of the engine , cams etc , wait till it cools and the oil has time to drain into the sump    :thumbup

Really??
Oil should ideally be at operating temperature, but at the very least start the engine for 30 seconds so that it does coat all the parts then switch off and let it settle, and that'll be your correct level.

Remember that it is not an engine warning light as such - like you would get in a car, it is just a simple oil level light like your petrol gauge, I have had it coming on in the past on acceleration straight after a roundabout, and all it needed to stop it was an egg cup full more of oil  :lurk 

Also it takes days for all of the oil to drain down so a warm engine with I would say 1/2 hour wait would be about right to check the level. I did mine again last year to the correct level and over a few days of no use I watched the level go up and over the sight glass
