I've added 3 full quarts of oil (not via oil changes) over the course of 5000 miles. My 1st oil change is schedules for this coming Saturday.

 

I'm at 2,600 miles and have not had to add any oil. I check it every 2nd or 3rd fill-up and while it is down about a 1/4 of a quart I have never had the oil light come on.

 

It seems like your light comes on due to the oil pan problem and not low oil. You pull over and check the oil in a hot engine while not all the oil has drained, and keep adding oil.

If your engine oil light comes on at highway speeds and goes away you need the revised oil pan AND check your oil after the car has been sitting for a while to get an accurate measurement.

If my suggestion is invalid then you have a serious problem with your engine since you should not be adding oil that frequently. My car has 2,400 miles on it and I have never added any oil yet.

Good luck !
