You won't get an oil light with even a quart left in the tank. With a dry sump that's all the motor needs at any given time. (The extra 2 1/2 quarts are basically there to further help cool the motor.) So if you've got an oil light, you've probably got an oil pump problem and you can't just "tune it and adjust" what are probably stock, non-adjustable pushrods anyway.) So check the oil and then get it to a tech if thats not the problem.
