Angry Frequent "Check Oil Level" Light

i have an 08 CS and just got the oil changed not even 300 miles ago...yet i am seeing this light come on now. Note that this is probably the 4th time that its happened since i bought the car and im wondering if theres something wrong. Any input would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

CS doesn't drink oil like a Turbo. did they use enough oil during oil change? if so u should not need oil for thousand of miles unless it was low from the beginning. have it checked.

Few months ago I brought my '08 Cayenne S to stealer for maintenance and the changed the oil there, and the next day I got the low oil message on the dash, and brought it back to them complaining about it, they said the tech guy must have made a mistake reading the level of oil in the engine bla bla.... I believe they charge for the oil and not fill it

they gave me some BS..."its actually due to blow by..bla bla bla...as the engine breaks in...bla bla bla" keep in mind this is at 12,500 miles...talk about useless.
One thing i do in my cayenne is throw it in neutral while moving and give it a rev to intimidate all the ricers around my town...not sure if that has anything to do with it or if its overall bad for the car but with those fabspeed bypass pipes and some good ole midwest natural cold air...it makes their friggen ears bleed...makes my day when i set off car alarms too..thank god for fabspeed!!

does it really make that much difference on the sound when you install those bypass pipes?
