== Sensor== There is a sensor in the oil pan that when the oil level is as low as the pick up it give you a warning, so check your oil. Whenever the oil light is on, it means that the engine oil pressure is below a specified level. It usually means that the engine bearings (rods and/or mains) are excessively worn. It CAN mean that the engine out of oil or that the oil pump has failed. In any case, it means that the engine is ready for a rebuild. Running the engine without oil pressure will cause serious damage potentially making it unrepairable.
