What does it mean when your car dies and your battery and oil light comes on?

Both the "battery" and "oil" idiot lights turn off when the engine is running and thus indicates that the alternator is putting out current to recharge the battery, and the oil pump is circulating enough oil to maintain a safe oil pressure to protect the running engine.
When your vehicle "dies," that means the engine is not running, and thus these indicator lights tell you that the alternator is not putting out current, and the oil pressure is below a preset level.

Not a good sign, This could mean that your charging system (alternator) isn't doing its job. If you have problems starting the car due to not enough battery power, then check your battery to see if it is holding the charge. If after a while that you had to boost or jumpstart your battery your car gradually dies then check your alternator to see if it is putting out charge to the battery.
