Which usually means you're out of oil, and will soon hear expensive noises. I would pull over immediately and check my oil. As emon87 said, you'll probabally need at least a qt or two. |

Re: driving when the oil indicator light goes on
OP needs to clarify which "oil indicator" light is on.
On my car, this could be any of 3 lights: (1) Change Oil Soon - it's been a while since your last oil change - no big deal, just make sure it's changed before 5k miles or so (2) Low Oil Level - this is a sensor in the oil pan that lets you know if the levels start getting low. If this is on, definitely check the level with a dipstick and refill ASAP. (3) Low Oil Pressure (usually just an image of an oil can) - critical - don't drive your car on this at all - check immediately. |

Re: driving when the oil indicator light goes on
guys
It says "change oil" in amber. I do not know what a dipstick is. I know nothing about my car other than how to drive it. So far I get the idea that its probably not that big of deal. Gonna drive and will get oil added/changed tommorow. |

I hate cars and can only change a tire and even I knew what a dipstick was when I was 5. |

Re: driving when the oil indicator light goes on
Meh you will be fine. A friend of mine did seize up a block once, but there was at least a 30% chance he was trying. I think he ran it completely dry and still got a hundred clicks or so.
