Could be leaking, could be burning it.

Making you think twice before picking on Impalas

check the level, the sender could be bad

Thats what I was thinking. You'd have to lose over half your oil for it to trigger the sensor and I dont see that happening without some sign or symptoms of trouble. The bad side of it is that you have to drain the oil out to change it, or at least get it below the level of the sensor hole in the pan. If you end up replacing it, be sure to use some thread sealant.
