Will the oil light cause a 2008 Dodge Avenger not to start?

The oil light itself does not prevent the engine from starting, but low oil pressure will eventually damage essential engine components like bearings and pistons.

Possible causes for low oil pressure:

- Low oil level

- Oil pump failure

- Worn out engine bearings or piston rings

- An oil filter that is too restrictive or clogged

If your oil light comes on, you should:

- Pull over and turn off the engine immediately

- Check the oil level and add oil if necessary

- If the oil level is full, have the car towed to a mechanic to diagnose the problem

Driving with low oil pressure can cause serious engine damage, so it's important to take action as soon as possible if you see the oil light come on.
