Could be faulty sensor or oil pickup blocked with crud

 

But he's replaced the sensor. If there was poor flow due to a blocked pickup wouldn't it be the red light that was on?

 

OP - have you got the correct dipstick? If you had a longer dipstick (oohh matron!) than standard then the full level on the dipstick would be lower in the sump. Also check that the dipstick tube isn't broken - it's common for them to go brittle.
