I can't comment on what the dealers are doing in this regard is right or wrong (obviously they know best and one would hope any subsequent related faults would be covered under warranty as a result of their actions)
But as per the attached photo of my current oil level (4/5ths full) - I don't imagine I'll get a low oil warning unless the engine loses oil and it drops below the Min mark.

it should be on MAX when the sump level is correct , there are two stages of warning before it gets to low please stop ,, add 0.5 litre and add one litre ... so it is pretty certain you will get a warning before the next service which if you top it up you might over fill it .. so you see the importance of
A ,putting the correct volume in to start with ( 5 litres ) and B , resetting the oil level gauge after changing the oil ...
