When this warning illuminates on your dashboard, it indicates that the oil level in your vehicle is low and needs to be topped up, or there may be a malfunction in your vehicle's oil pressure system.
_This warning light looks like an oil can, and it is accompanied by the message "HI,"_ which stands for _"High."_
What Should You Do When You See the Check Oil Level/Low Oil Pressure Warning Light?
1. Pull over to a safe location and turn off your vehicle immediately. Driving with low oil pressure or an insufficient oil level can cause severe engine damage.
2. Check your oil level. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, and then insert it back into the oil fill tube. Pull it out again and check the level of the oil. If it is below the "add" or "full" mark, you need to add oil to your vehicle.
3. Start the vehicle again. If the Check Oil Level/Low Oil Pressure Warning Light is still illuminated after you add oil, it is time to take your vehicle to a mechanic to diagnose the issue and make repairs as necessary.
