Frequently asked questions

Can I keep driving with the low oil light on?

Stop and check the level soon — driving low on oil risks serious engine damage, and the oil pressure light especially means stop now.

Is the low oil light the same as the oil pressure light?

Not exactly. The low-level light means top up, while the red pressure light is more urgent and can signal a serious problem.
