It lets you know when you are out of oil. Not good.

light means no oil presure.. even 1/2 quart of oil will give you oil presure

i thought so, its not a level indicator. like if you don't have any oil then obviously you wont have any pressure, but if you have a faulty pump or something it will light too.

It emits light due to an electric current passed through a filament in a gas-filled tube.

Oh, what does it mean? Low oil pressure, and it's definitely not good. Could be due to a bad oil pump, clogged pickup, or lack of oil.
