oil light
Engine pressure indicator
The oil light is a warning indicator on a vehicle's dashboard that illuminates when engine oil pressure drops too low.
This typically signals insufficient oil level, a failing oil pump, or a leak.
The light demands immediate attention—driving with low oil pressure can destroy an engine in minutes.
The oil light came on, so I pulled over right away.
