An oil warning light should also be taken very

seriously. It means your oil level in the engine is low or that the oil pump is not circulating oil properly and at the

correct pressures. In either case, engine damage is likely to occur and the vehicle should be inspected to determine the

cause of the problem. You may have a minor oil leak, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, restricted oil passages, an

improper oil level, or a number of other mechanical issues.
