I'm not sure I could ever get comfortable with that "bing" going off...
Yeah. It's kind of a universal law that as soon as you get comfortable with ignoring a critical warning like that then it's not going to be a false alarm.

Yesterday it got even weirder. After a 60 mile drive i slowed to go thru a tool booth and suddenly got the oil warning message and needle dropped to zero. Came back few seconds later. Then few minutes later i glanced at dash and see the needle at zero but got no warning message at all. Fixed itself after continued driving but now its happened enough that i will schedule a replacement next week while getting oil changed.

Yeah you're getting your errors far more often than I ever have. I've never even gotten two in one day. Come to think of it - I haven't gotten one this year.
