Did you start it? If you did and she idled and nothing, sensor trouble for sure.
Gotta start it.
I dunno you guys. Could his car be SO low, sensor is not picking up oil level anymore?

Whoa 
Okay, I still say let's deal with the small stuff and then worry bout the bigger stuff if this doesn't work.
I would swap out the oil sensor and drain and refill oil for sure.
I have been through 2 sensors like Mikey. After I added 3 qts, I got spooked and swapped out the sensor and refilled with oil. Been fine since.
Keep fingers crossed.
Not sure if this is best price, but here is what it looks like. Snag O Ring too.

Changed the oil. Put in 9 quarts. Car still running rough... Scanned for codes and multiple misfires on cylinder 2. Cleared the code and same results. Misfired right away. Bought some fuel inj cleaner.... What now ?

Weird how this happened at the same time as the low oil issue.

Post up pictures of the plugs in cylinder #2. The plugs will tell a detailed story.

I just had that. invoice was front oil pan leaking, They removed engine oil,remove under sheilds, remove bolts for lower engine mount, disconnect power steering lines steering rack,raise engine, loosen oil cooler lines, remove forward lower cover for oil pan, clean sealing surfaces, reseal.
My other oil leak a month before was oil cooler lines leaking from engine oil pump.

Here is a link. Essentially a lot of oil being consumed...plugs fowled out with oil...and a lot of missfire codes thrown.

At this point, I would swap coil packs from another cyl, and throw in a couple plugs but then at some point, you have to do a compression test.
Glad kjlindgr is on this thread now. Guys a genius.

They don't rent them from what I know, but you can use them in the parking lot to scan your codes.
And yes, a 17mm box wrench makes a good lever to pry the spark plug boots off with.
