If the vehicle's oil-pressure gauge is reading low or the red oil-pressure warning light comes on; what should a driver do?

Correct Answer

Drive to a safe place; stop the vehicle and check the oil level.

Explanation: Oil circulation is essential for the safe running of the vehicles engine. If the warning lights or gauges indicate that the oil or the oil-pressure is low; the driver should stop as soon as they can in safe place; check the oil level; and top up if necessary. Continuing to drive may damage the engine. If the problem is not just related to the oil level; have the vehicle checked by a competent person.
