All of the indicator lights come on for a few moments immediately after you turn the key to the start position. After that, if the oil indicator comes on stop driving the car until the cause is found. The oil indicator light means the engine is not getting enough oil either because the oil level is too low or the oil pump has stopped working. In either case, it's a serious problem and operating the engine under these conditions can destroy the it.

Are dashboard lights and indicator lights the same thing?
no. however your indicator lights are located in your dashboard. dashboard light will light up when you turn your headlights on. Ex. the lights that are illuminated behind your miles per hour needle or behind your fuel gauge. Your indicator light are a lights that come on when your first turn the ignition. these lights indicate when your oil needs to be changed or your fuel is low or your washer fluid is low or the blue light that is illuminated when your headlights are on bright or high beam etc.....most newer model cars are equipped with the indicator lights. hope this is helpful.
