Where in the world are you getting your info?? This "false oil indication" has lead to several engine replacements! I've personally rescued one of them. It's a known issue with a gauge line bracket that cracks & lets go, snapping the gauge line & spewing oil. Talked to a mechanic on another recent rescue & he said engineering is trying to get an alteration approved to mitigate this repeated problem.
