I'm a little confused about your #3 in this list. What makes you think a "low engine oil" level light could mean you need an oil change???

lol, you don't want to confuse oil pressure and oil level lights.

The low engine oil level is in the middle of the RPM TACH and has the squiggles under it.

The low engine oil pressure is in the bottom right corner and has one drop falling out of it.

One is much worse than the other obviously.
