Default CEL triggered when oil at < 5% on the mid ??

Hey all. The check engine light tripped today. When I cycle through the mid display for any info I see the oil life at less than 5%. Are these two related?

Any tricks to finding out what the code is? What it means? Everything seems normal.

The OLM shouldn't trigger the CEL. A low oil will tho.

Most auto parts stores will check codes for free.
