No, as far as I can see it does not.
The light is flashing because there is a problem. The problem will need to be diagnosed and repaired to stop the flashing.
It may be a bad sensor or just needs an oil change. If you have done this and it's still flashing, unhook the cables from the battery to reset it. Hopefully this will fix it.
A flashing red traffic light is used the same way as a stop sign. You treat a flashing red traffic light the same way you do as a stop sign. If the traffic light is "blacked-out", it's to be treated as an all-way stop. What I do when I come up to a flashing red traffic light, I look at the cross-traffic signals to see if they're also flashing red, or if they're flashing yellow to see if they stop or if they don't stop.
A flashing oil light can be warning you of an oil pressure problem. The quantity of oil can be fine but the oil pressure may be low due to other problems.
It means, that you have to refill oil and cooling water.
Flashing amber light means slow down, watch for potential dangers. Flashing red means stop; proceed if and when it is safe.
If you're certain that there is sufficient oil, the low oil pressure light means that either the oil pump isn't working or, more likely, the bearings are severely worn.
Tip: The oil light flashing indicates that the pressureof the oil is low, the light does not necessarily indicates when the oil level is low. The problem could be a bad oil pump or a leak in the filter.
bring it in for servicing
A yellow flashing engine light is an indication that the engine should be checked. The yellow flashing light can because by low water level or low motor oil.
Red=stop red flashing= light is broken, use your judgement in crossing.
