Actually they dont, there are a lot of cars that have been produced over the last few years that rely on a sensor to tell the driver if the level is low and we all know what can happen to a sensor.
Mercedes, BMW, Audi, and some Fords come immediately to mind and I think some Peugeots but I might be wrong on that.
A BMW that would tell the owner he was low on oil so he topped it up, it did the same even after 3 litres of oil so he ignored it. 6 months later the oil pressure warning light came on while he was doing 70mph and the engine was toast. This particular car had been main dealer serviced from new and was not due a service for another 8k miles.
