yea, I'd assume it was a bad sensor. Are you nuts?!?
Do you have a V-8? if so, you have a dipstick. Check the oil level.
If you don't have a dipstick, then get thee to a service facility and have them check it out.
I presume you don't want your engine to seize up, right?
Otherwise, just keep ignoring the warning. Sorry I don't have a way to shut off the annoying "ding, ding, ding"

That's not a warning / alert you should ignore. Could be a faulty sensor or low oil level. Any other tell tale signs like needing to add oil very often or unusual engine noises? Might be something more serious and potentially expensive!
