If it is the low oil level light, the sensor uses the oil to close the circuit, if the wiring is broken it will cause the light to come on.
If it is the low oil pressure light, you could have a problem with the oil pump and should not start the engine until it is repaired.

Why does my oil light come on after the car warms up?

Why does my oil pressure light came on when I stop?
Low pressure means there either isn't enough oil in the system or the oil pump isn't circulating enough oil to keep the critical bearing and friction surfaces lubricated. If the light comes on while at speed, do your best to pull off the road quickly, turn the engine off, and investigate the problem to avoid damage.

2006 pt cruiser oil light

It's OK that oil light flickers or comes on while starting. It turns off when oil pressure comes up to normal. That won't happen till car is running.

What causes the oil light to come on?

The oil light will come on orange if your oil level is low. The oil light will come on red if your oil pressure is low. The oil light will come on, then turn off if your oil level sensor needs replacing. Alex

Oil level low light comes on. When I turn

some cars with oil level warning light on, it doesn't mean that its only reading the engine oil level is low, sometime the transmission fuid too. Did you check your transmission fluid if it is ok or not? try to check and let us know, ok.

2004 Chev Epica - oil light comes when car comes to a stop

the oil light is coming on due to sensed low engine oil pressure, this is not a level issue unless u are about 3 quarts low, oil pressure indicators don't leave any computer codes, so who ever told u that is wrong, u need to test the oil pressure with a mechanical gage when the oil light is on, until U need to confirm that u don't have a real pressure issue here or you can burn out the engine bearings, if the pressure checks ok then rplace the oil pressure light sending unit in the engine.

How low is my oil when the light comes on. My oil light did not come on until my car was completely empty of oil. Is that normal?

No, not normal at all! If your oil light comes on, stop driving before you ruin the engine! The light indicates not necessarily low oil, but lack of pressure. Either way, you need to get it fixed. If you add oil and the problem comes back soon, then you have other problems, like leaks, or a failing oil pump.

Oil Light comes on VW passat

Start checking the oil level, if oil is low then the problem is a leak or weared rings.

If oil level is ok, check that the oil pump has enough pressure.

If oil pump is also fine, then scan the ECU (car computer) and replace the sensor if you do not find anything else being wrong.
