Shut the engine off and get a tow

Low oil pressure starves the engine of lubrication. Driving even a short distance can cause permanent, expensive damage — the safe move is to stop and tow.

⚠️ Safety first

The red oil pressure light is a stop-now warning. Continuing to run the engine can seize it. Turn it off and request a tow.

  1. 1Pull over as soon as it's safe and turn the engine OFF immediately.
  2. 2Don't rev or restart the engine to 'check' — that keeps damaging it.
  3. 3If you can, check the dipstick once it's cool; very low or no oil confirms it. Do not drive to add oil.
  4. 4Request a tow to a repair shop.
