i do not believe there is. if you think you might be low on oil, do a simple check of the dipstick and dont start it up...if you dont start the engine, it wont need to be shut off...

no there is not a shut off for low oil that is why if you have a vtec engine it can fail due to low oil.

any engine will seize if you run the motor for with no or low enough oil. dry friction will toast a motor in no time.

Cel will lite for the vtec system malfunction due to low oil.

the car will not shut itself off or prevent to start up for no/low oil.

Sometimes there's a warning noise, kinda like a grinding screetching sound right before the engine stops.
