Default OIL SENSOR message - wtf is this?

Is this the one in the oil pan?
I get this message for few seconds for the last few days. Oil level is OK. Haven't vag-com'ed yet.

FME, I believe this sensor message detects both over and under full engine oil levels.

Default Bingo!

Before the light came when the engine was still cold. Today it showed/beeped during the highway drive, and the oil temp was @ 150. A soon as the message disappeared, the oil temp went back to normal ~225.
