Check Oil Level

Check Oil Level light came on. I took the car in for synthetic oil change (they put in Pennzoil Platinum 10w-30, dont worry, I plan on changing it to Mobil 1 0w-30 before winter). 9 quarts later, the Check Oil Level warning is still on the dash. I checked the dip stick, and the wet oil line is at "max" on the stick. Could the sensor be bad? Or do I have to reset something? The service A has already been reset to 10,000 miles....and Im clueless.

Im just stupid thats all. If I would have read the manual more closely, I could have had the car check its own oil level. When I did that, with key in position 2, the display said oil level OK. This car pulls more tricks than my neighbors wife....
