The user is expected to change the engine oil on regular basis as the oil which helps in lubricating the engine and its various parts have a limited self life.

Using 5W-30 oil in summer, my Catera's low oil pressure warning and light will come on when the engine is hot. But with 10W-40 oil this condition will not occur. Oil pressure gauge may indicate low pressure, but not enough to trigger the warning or the light.
The warning light can come on when it is time to change the oil. Your oil pressure and oil level can be at recommended levels when the oil needs to be changed.
The only way to answer that question is by knowing which warning lights are on. It could be ABS, Change Oil, Check engine, Brakes etc
