Don't trust the digital gauge. It is generally accepted that the digital gauge should read FULL, no bars. Ultimately though, forget the digital gauge and check the dipstick. Make sure it is full to the full line when checked. Running these engines even a little low can potentially be problematic. The concept is, at full there might be a better chance for oil to get into the IMS cavity a bit better/easier, and if you track you car you run less risk of oil starvation on high G turns.
