The answers on here seem accurate for most fluids, but I’m assuming the engine oil works in a different way?

I’ve had the oil run super low in my car on a few occasions, and the dashboard light seems to be super sensitive. Like the first time it comes on will only be during sharp turns or hard brakes where the fluid seems to be shifted. This has happened to me in two different cars where I didn’t realize I had a slight oil leak until I started catching that light for a fraction of a second during turns and stuff. Why wouldn’t they have that light kick in before it’s reading completely empty?
