<x-charset iso-8859-1>So how low does the oil have to be before the oil light comes on? I thought that as long as it's between the lines, you're OK. I once had an old Volvo 340 that had an oil leak the size of the Niagara Falls. The oil light came on at about the same time as the engine started making clicking noises. I actually drove like that to the nearest service station, and filled up the oil. The car lasted for a couple of thousand miles before I finally junked it because it's wierd rubber band transmission was porked.
