The red oil light means you car is low on oil, or there is a problem and should be checked.
It also means check your oil level, sounds to me like it is down a couple quarts.
To make red light.
it doesnt necessarily mean its gas it can be your engine oil or some other type of oil. or tempt.
Light interacts with a red book primarily through absorption and reflection; the surface of the book absorbs most wavelengths of light but reflects red wavelengths, making it appear red to our eyes. In contrast, a red stained glass window transmits red light while absorbing other colors, allowing light to pass through and create a vivid red hue. Both objects appear red due to the specific wavelengths they reflect or transmit, but their interaction with light differs in how much light is absorbed versus transmitted.
oil light comes on when there is not poper amount of oil in engine. if proper amount is in engine and light comes on at idle, maybe the oil needs changing. oil looses some of its viscosity when old/you might also check oil sender unit and oil pressure gauge. it all these are good you need new oil pump,as it is loosing pressure at idle. just because oil light comes on , DOES NOT mean you need new main bearings. YOU WILL KNOW WHEN U NEED MAINS AS THE ENGINE WILL RATTLE LIKE A THOUSAND LITTLE MEN IN IN WITH HAMMERS. THIS NOISE WILL ALSO GET WORSE WHEN YOU REV ENGINE
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.
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.
low oil
oil level light
lack of oil,faulty oil pressure switch or worn engine

The oil life monitor or the red oil light? Red oil light is bad yellow oil life monitor light means it needs to be reset
The red oil can warning light is an indication the oil needs to be checked immediately. The red battery warning light is a indication the charging system is not working properly.
Theft alarm or chip key malfunction.
If memory serves me right it is the low oil pressure light.
This is a warning light trying to tell you that your oil is low... CHECK IT. ADD OIL if low!!
