oil level refresh

Anyone know how often the oil level indicator refreshes? I just had my oil changed yesterday at Passport. As I'm driving down Auth road after leaving the d-ship I checked the level and it was about 1/4 inch below max (non-idrive) -- same exact level as before the oil change. So, I'm thinking either they didn't do the oil change, or they didn't fill it up all the way. I did a U and went back to tell them (Service people were all gone for the day.) Checked again after I restarted the car, same result. Checked again as I was pulling onto the beltway, same result. But wait, I checked again when I got to the Wilson Bridge, and voila, it was up to max. So I figure the indicator must refresh on a certain cycle. Anyone else experience this?
