When an oil light turns red it could mean one of two things, low oil or low oil pressure. Check the oil levels first to see if that is the cause.
The red oil light means you car is low on oil, or there is a problem and should be checked.
A red oil light can mean a few different things. It can mean the oil pressure is low, the oil level is low, the oil sending unit is bad, or the oil pump is bad. Have it looked at immediately and do not drive it.
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.
At least in the USA, a red light does not turn yellow. It turns green. A green light turns yellow, and then the yellow light turns red. IN THAT ORDER.
It also means check your oil level, sounds to me like it is down a couple quarts.
low oil
oil level light
lack of oil,faulty oil pressure switch or worn engine
the plastic is red so it turns light red
You should not get a citation. As long as some part of the vehicle is in the intersection when the light turns red, you have not run a red light.
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.
it is a reminder to change the oil.. goes red after 10000 Kms
