The oil dipstick shows there is no oil and the low oil level comes on, but there is plenty of oil in the car. The reason I know this is I drained it and it was full.

Takes a minium of 7 1/2 quarts of oil to fill. Typically is 2 quarts low when it drops off of stick.

When you drain it and fill it it holds 8 qts with the oil filter. If lite is still on change the oil level sensor its down by the crank sensors, by the frt motor mount
