I just had the car serviced and the oil light comes on from time to time and the screen keeps saying ''check oil level'' How do I make it go away?

did you ck the oil? is it low? if not the oil level sensor needs changing, its cheap and its down behind the front motor mount just to the right of it. the two together are the crank sensors, and the 1 by itself is the oil sensor
