The low oil alarm will go on when you are low so the good thing is, it's working!! When the alarm goes off, the engine will go into reduced mode so as not to run out of oil, ultimately seizing your engine up. THAT is a great thing to have!!
The biggest thing is before you leave for any trip, top off your oil on the engine reservoir. It is much better to play on the side of caution rather than run into an issue while out there...
I also still run 2 stroke motors, and before any big trip, I will always fill my reservoir. I also carry an extra gallon with me at all times with a funnel and rag to fill and keep things clean if I spill.
