Driving home after oil change, two miles later, says add 1 quart...

Don't know if it's a computer calibration error, or a mechanic's mistake. Either way, don't want to add a quart for fear of overfilling, what to do?

Take it back.

Take it back. You are probably missing the top plug and it has made an oily mess in the engine bay.

Where did you get your oil changed?

They said it was a bad sensor.
