Default Help - alarm sounded

Took my 96 Mariah Shabah 4.3 Litre / Alpha One out after changing oil in the lower drive. I let it drain properly and filled from the bottom up, made sure it didnt leak. After driving it not far an alarm sounded so i shut it off. After looking at the engine I forgot to add oil in the reservoir tank. I topped it up to the line and took it for another ride and alarm sound still on ?? Any ideas why?

    did you get all the air out of the system? it could be something as easy as needing to top off the reservoir again...i learned this the hard way

    Hey brett. So just leave the top off the reservoir and let it sit? Or should i take the reervoir tank off and clean it out ?? I check the air vent on the drive oil was coming out when I lowered the drive all the way down.
