Low Oil Light?

Just for curiosity sake I was wondering how low on oil do you have to be for the warning light to come on?

Thanks

I think its lower than that-I would say more like at least 2 quarts low if not more.

Is there a particular reason you are askin?

the sensor is fairly notorious for going bad 9from reading forums it doesn't nmatter what kind of car it is all of them have the issue)
