Your faith in the Volvo electronic system is reassuring and whilst arguably sophisticated it may be technically, I and many always saw the oil warning light as the backup to the dipstick. What I wonder was Volvo's motivation for dispensing with it.

you can top it up yourself , it tells you how much to put in .. The only trouble encountered with these gauges in my experience is when they have been neglected by the person who is doing the oil change by not following the correct procedure .. . The vast majority have no problems the ones that do seem to congregate here which gives a false impression of real world reliability.
With the old dipstick system by the time the oil PRESSURE ( not level) light came on it was very close to too late .
