I take your point that running a rotary low on oil, or with dirty oil is a
sin, but something tells me I want to avoid having the car engine quit when
I am trying to cross traffic, or railroad tracks, or anywhere else I don't
plan.....

The first gen cars had the sensor, too - a light glows on the dash.

BUT the second gen my girlfriend has adds a very loud horn that stays on
'till you add oil.

When I had my auto shop, she tried to get us to disconnect the horn.   No
way.  Ten years later, that horn is still in there protecting that engine
[which is still running fine].
