Can you fix the mistake of putting engine oil in the brake fluid?
Yes. You can fix the mistake of putting engine oil in the brake fluid. It is the easiest if you just caught it as soon as you did it. In that case you disconnect the master cylinder as quick as possible from the brake lines. You do not want oil to clog the brake lines. Then you remove as much brake fluid, oil mix from the master cylinder as possible. Then you take a rag and clean out the master cylinder. Then you run brake fluid through the master cylinder until it comes clean. Then you run brake fluid through the brake lines to make sure they are clean. If brake fluid does not go through the brake lines, you did not catch it in time. You need to replace your brake lines and slave cylinders. You have just learned an expensive lesson.
Why does the warning brake light go on?
Four Possible reasons...

Check the master cylinder to see if it is empty. If you add fluid and pump the pedal you will probably see brake fluid on the ground or on the inside of the tires. Possibly a bad master cylinder. - The fluid will stay full but you will have no or little brake pressure. Could be air in the system as well. BE CAREFUL If you happen to add power steering fluid or transmission fluid to the master cylinder instead of brake fluid you will destroy the system. Make sure you use ONLY brake fluid and clean the master cylinder cap off with a clean rag first so no dirt gets into the braking system.
