Oil lvel check

UPDATE Problem solved !!
Thanks for the responses and I am summarizing the steps I took and what I learned
On my vehicle the oil check and the oil level check are two different windows
The RPM increase is normal and even noted in the owners manual.

I was concerned that 2500 miles on a oil change and not knowing the actual oil level could lead to problems. This was reinforced by a U tube video of a engine that had to be replaced due to lack of oil.

I wound up replacing the sensor in the oil pan for lack of better ideas and this solved the problem. No codes ever indicated a oil sensor issue. The "oil check" window always showed ok. (green)

The part I replaced was dated 2015 so it had been a problem earlier. Both old and new were Hella.

When doing a oil level check with the new part I noted that it was slower than I remember with the old. The old part would read to 20% quickly and then default to the level, park, idle etc message.

Sensor was easy to replace. I spent more time on the lower sound/splash shield remove/replace than the sensor.
