Yup DIC will show LOW ENGINE OIL ADD OIL. Have gotten that message three times at about 40ish percentage oil life remaining.

I hope you have more success than I do with these repairs. I have loved the engine oil consumption, received the cleaning, and the repairs for the cost iron block which include a new valve cover. All were covered under warranty. Now, I fear my engine may have just failed on me. I'm 1,100 miles from home, holed up in a Holiday Inn, while my truck sits at a dealership up the road. The Low Engine Oil message would still appear on my DIC after these repairs with the oil life near 50%. I use wix oil filters and valvoline 5w30 max life oil.
