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.

Does the oil light come on BEFORE the engine shuts down? I have to ask because it is NORMAL for the oil light to be on when the engine is not running. I had a customer that said the same thing just last week. After we wasted a bunch of time (which the customer ended-up paying for) checking the oil level, the oil pressure, and verifying correct oil pressure gauge, light, and sending unit operation, it turned out that the crankshaft position sensor was bad and causing the engine to shut down and it had absolutely NOTHING to do with the oil light - it was functioning as designed.

If the oil light is coming on before the engine shuts down, the first thing you need to do is check your oil level. If the oil level is OK, you need to check the oil pressure with a gauge to determine if there is an actual engine oil pressure problem or if the oil pressure sending unit, gauge or light is malfunctioning. Also, it is highly advisable to not drive the vehicle AT ALL if the oil pressure light is coming on while driving until the cause of the light coming on has been determined and repairs have been made. Otherwise, SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE may result.

WHAT LIGHT COME ON.IF LOW OIL LIGHT COMES ON CHECK OIL DIP STICK.OIL LEVEL SHOULD BE ON THE FULL MARK.IF OIL LIGHT COME ON CHECK OIL DRAIN PLUG AND OIL FILTER EITHER ONE COULD BE LOOSE LEAKING OIL.IF OIL LIGHT NOT COMING ON AND YOU SEE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT THAT CAR TO ANY AUTO PARTS STORES.THEY WILL CODE SCAN CAR FREE AND TELL YOU WHAT TROUBLE CODE YOU ARE GETTING.

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

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.

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.

abs computer sounds no good,check for short in wire to oil sender wire might be grounding out to turn light on

Most likely POOR OIL PRESSURE. DO NOT run theengine till you connect with the shop that changed the oil. Could be many possibilities i.e. wrong oil, bad filter, not enough oil . Hope this helps
