Hello All

I would have immediately turned around and gone right back to the person I bought the car from.
Did you manually check the oil to see how low it was before adding any? Putting too much oil in can cause serious problems to your engine.
Although electronic warnings are mostly reliable. I wouldn't always take them as gospel especially something like an oil warning light.
