Let me add my 2 cents worth on why not having it is not a big deal.
First, long before you do damage to the engine due to low oil, the prop will feather. I know of at least two cases where this has happened. Loss of oil, prop feathers (which should lead most of us to look at oil pressure), engine gets shut off, no damage.
Second, you've got two engines, so finding a place to land is not the emergency it is with a single.
If you still want to add a low-oil indicator, it may be a lot easier to install and get a field approval on an oil pressure sensor with warning light that simply connects with a T fiitting to the oil-pressure line that now goes to the oil-pressure gauge.
