Are there two oil lights?

[Machspeed]

Okay, the weirdest thing happened today. I was at the bank with my dad. My sho was parked in this spot, it was on a little hill sideways. I start my car and my "check oil" light comes on. No, it wasnt the red oil light. So i check it and it looks more then a couple of courts low. So i add a quart and get it off the hill and on some flat ground and the oil is fine, it was never really even that low. Any ideas?

You got it! One light (orange) is supposed to come on when the oil is 2 quarts low. The other light (red) and it's low oil pressure, which is really bad news!

Sounds like you're okay!

The yellow light is triggered by the low oil level sensor mounted on the side of the oil pan.

The red one is turned on if your oil pressure is too low.
