Okay dumb question of the day:
I finally got around to checking my oil level after a couple months and it was about 1/4" below the low mark on the dipstick after several checks. I added about 1/2 qt. waited a few minutes and that brought it up to about halfway between low and full.

So just how low does the oil have to be in the pan to throw a CEL or the oil pressure light?

Blake,
This should probably be on the CRD thread. With a normal car the oil pressure light may not come on until only 1-2 quarts are left, oil pressure can be mantained until the oil level is very low. With my CRD oil usage is increased if the level is above the halfway mark.

Went ahead and moved it into the CRD section. Carry on folks

On the oil dip stick:

High mark = top of the hash's
Low mark = bottom of the hash's
safe zone = in the middle of the hash area

Below the hash marks and your engine doesn't have enough oil.

Above the hash marks and your engine is over filled.

Didn't somebody say that if the oil level is too high, more oil will be passed through the CCV.

gonna check it again after driving home, when I checked it at lunch today it looked high/overfilled but had been idle 5 hrs, engine cold...

if anything I'll check and see if my provent is swimming in oil after 5K...

if it's too high I'll just drain a bit since I have a fumoto
