First, a brief presentation. A motor (or engine, if you prefer) drives a transmission (different "gears" or drive ratios) which drives some kind of differential to drive the axles (which drive the wheels) of a vehicle. The transaxle combines the functions of the transmission and differential to deliver the engine power to spin the axles. There are a lot of different transaxles, as you can imagine. The VW's from back in the day used them. So did (and do!) a lot of race cars. Use the link for pictures. There are a bunch of them. Not all are automotive, which is good because the transaxle isn't just limited to vehicles, though most of our encounters with transaxles are in cars.

if the transaxle light comes on in the car can you still drive it
The AUTOMATIC transmission ( transaxle ) dipstick is on the transaxle just to the left of the battery when looking from the front of the vehicle , the manual transaxle does not have a dipstick
It depends on if it is a manual transaxle or an automatic transaxle. If it is a manual transaxle, you can use any SG-rated 5W30 motor oil. If it is an automatic transaxle, then you need DEXRON II Automatic Transmission Fluid.
