You should be checking your oil level each time you fill the gas tank via the electronic display. Ideally you'd let the car sit for longer than the few minutes it takes to fill, otherwise it will always look low, but gas stations are good because they are typically on level ground.

These cars do burn a little oil, so you should buy a quart and expect to top it off on your own every couple thousand miles to be safe. (My '01 burned about half a quart over 3,000 miles)

I don't know about the oil level + CEL thing, esp since 1128 is listed as "Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Rich Threshold"
