Is the oil level sensor over zealous?!

Is the oil level sensor a bit over zealous. Car has just had a B service & I keep getting the oil level low warning symbol, yet when I check it the oil level is exactly where it should be on the dipstick.

I had the opposite issue: "REDUCE OIL LEVEL". Using a pump, I syphoned four ounces (1/8th quart) of oil out through the dipstick tube. Issue gone. Perhaps, if you apply four ounces of oil through the dipstick tube, your issue will be remedied. Good luck.

Top tip
Funny, car hasn't sounded the warning since I moaned about it. Perhaps it's good to have a moan now & then after all
Thanks Rubenz.
