If a red oil light comes on in a car, it means the vehicle is low on oil. It could also mean that the oil pump is not working.

If you are referring to the red oil pressure light then it means you have low oil pressure which will destroy your engine if you keep driving it. STOP immediately, check your oil level and add if it is low. If it is not low then call a tow truck and have it towed to a trusted mechanic for repair. Do not drive this vehicle with that light on or you will do serious damage to the engine.
