I know how to check the oil with the dipstick. That wasn't what I was asking. But thanks for attempting to help me

Well I guess my 01 doesnt really burn much oil b/c I go like 4k miles between changes (only had 1 change so far and do for 2nd another 1500 miles) and so far its never come on.
PS-it autmatically comes on and takes over display right? meaning regardless of what you have on display it will pop up, right? You don't have to actually scroll to a specific function to see it do you?

And yes, the warning should over-ride whatever is in on the DIC.

Well I would think GM would set it to read at a point where it starts to become a possible hazard and no lower than that. They certainly don't want to have to replace engines under warranty.
