did you look in the owner's manual??????????????????
Your oil light comes on when the OIL PRESSURE is too low ( your engine oil LEVEL may be O.K. )
It means you have low oil pressure. Notice the light is red. Red means stop driving the car until this is repaired. Check the oil level and if it is full seek professional help.
dont hold me to this but my 1999 dodge ram 1500 oil light would come on when i had low oil along with the oil pressure guage would drop...but this is when the oil would be really low
You probably have a stuffed oil pump or possibly a crook oil pressure sender. when it comes to oil pressure always start of by thinking the worst stop driving until you KNOW what the problem is.
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.
That means that your alternator is bad and the oil light can indicate something about you oil level or oil pressure
The light is NOT a low oil light. It is a low OIL PRESSURE light. You can drive it until the engine seizes. Of course internal engine damage will start to occur as soon as the light comes on and you have no oil pressure if you continue to drive the vehicle.
If the engine oil level is at the full mark, the light is not suppose to come on when driving.
High or low oil pressure, too little oil.
change the oil.
If the oil light comes on and an alarm sounds, it is usually an issue of a low oil pressure warning. This could mean that oil is leaking from the vehicle or that the oil pump is not working.
