Best Answer

It means that you engine is overheating. Check your water coolant level and oil levels.

DO NOT continue to drive the car until the problem is resolved, an over hot engine will cease and after that happens you will need a new engine.

What does hot oil light mean when 4 wheel drive is engaged on jeep wrangler?

The hot oil warning light is not for the engine oil, it's indicating the auto transmission oil is too hot. If you are climbing a long hill with the over drive engaged (button in front of shifter) it will constantly shift jumping in and out of a lower gear. With the 4hi engaged it adds addition work load to an already hot tranny. If the light comes on stop and left the engine idle in park for 5 minutes. Turn off the OD and continue on.
