mine did exactly the same 2 hours ago after being parked tilted to the right, moved the car to a flat surface, let her settle a bit, checked underneath for leaks and everything ok. 2 mins later the warning was gone. drove it another hour or so and then stopped again slightly tilted to the right but nothing too much (I usually stop there very often since I have the car and nothing happened so far) and the warning lights came on again... drove it a few meters on a flat spot and the lights remained lit this time even after 10 mins 
was unable to check the dipstick cause of the engine being hot, but i'm pretty sure the oil is ok, I never had problems with the oil level, never had to add any between service intervals either
maybe the oil level sensor is messed up?
I'll check tomorrow the dipstick and let you know

yeah I stopped and gave it a thought relax 
and this morning checked the stick and the oil was close to minimal. I was just thinkin' that's not the case last night, since the car NEVER drank any oil before between oil changes, I was using elf 5w 40 every 10 000 km (~6k miles) but since the last service I am running Motul 5w 40 300v and in 8000 km it consumed about a liter which is a bit odd since I was driving like the usual, no track days etc. maybe the oil properties caused this I'm not really sure

Ignore people on here being c***s...it doesnt always come on if oil is low
It can be tempermental and come on if your parked on an incline
mine used to do it everytime i went for a haircut because the road leans like f**k towards the curb lol
always let it cool down and check the dipstick though as you dont wanna risk running on low oil
