when the 'check' oil light comes on (not on dash) just above mirror. is this just prompting you to top up??

Mine does that, its oil level but the one on the dash is pressure.
My check panel light is really sensitive and comes on as soon as the leveld drops below half way between min and max - but better safe than sorry.
