They claimed they drained 5 quarts so down about 3 quarts. It wasn't from a reading. Would the car give me a notification if it was down 3 quarts?

nope. warning comes on when the engine is actually starved, not when the sump is low. right after i bought mine, did first oil change immediately, only about half a quart ever came out of the vehicle. no warning on dash. level sensor's working fine.
stick a piece of paper in your instrument cluster every month or two after you get out of the car, to remind yourself as you get back in the following morning, to turn the power on and check the level before starting the car. that's what i do.

I think it had been around 8 or 9 months and 4k since my last change. I decided to have the oil changed since it had been so long yet hadn't hit the miles.
