did he say how low it was? that very well could account for lifters starving for oil. just like turning a corner in any vehicle with low oil, the light comes on from lack of lubrication.
And yes, I have to agree... I check oil every chance I get, at least every timeI fill up the gas tank. Ya never know unless you check it.

Pull your plugs see if one or both are real black/wet and sooty. The 05's had a problem with valve guide seals allowing oil past the valve stems into the cylinders, thus "using oil". I will agree with the low oil level and oil starvation to a lifter, the valve was affected and then you sensed a different noise and power shortfall. I would check the oil level a little more often particularly before a long trip and when you get gas, at least when its put away for the night.
