KInda late on this....My sensor light comes on at 1/2 qt. under the high limit. I always carry a spare qt in the trunk. Like DW says...when funds are low...keep on riding her until she dies. But in the meantime....start looking for other options. Always have a back up plan..or a couple. Planning is the key.

The sensor measures the height of the fluid averaged out as the fluid splashes from side to side as you drive. Cars that spend more time driving on slopes as oppose to a straight level roads will likely see more variation in fluid height even if the amount of fluid is identical and the average may be lower as a result of that causing inconsistent yellow lights.
