Wait. Are you saying I would have to get off my butt and actually check a manual dipstick?
It's a 2013, and yes, does have a dipstick so inconveniently placed between the engine cover and the air intake hose. So yes, I can pull the car onto the road and manually check the dipstick too.
I was just commenting more on that I was surprised the "sensor" wasn't a continuously monitoring sensor. At least on mine, it seems to just check it when I start the car and then maybe an hour later it checks it. So when I start the car on the driveway it will show "full" and then an hour later will pop up the warning to fill. After the first low oil warning on a long trip, I started monitoring when the level changed and that's when I found it typically seems to be checking when you start the car.
