Best answer!

If it stays on after you have started the engine, it means you have low oil pressure. Check your dipstick you dipstick.

THANK YOU HARRY. I CAN ASSURE YOU I AM NO DIPSTICK! THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE COUNTRY, AND CANNOT GET A MANUAL FOR IT. I WENT TO TOYOTA MK AND THEY TOLD ME THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AFORESAID AND THE RED ICON OIL CAN. THANKS ANYWAY. COLONEL.

Don't start your engine till you check your oil level.

Your either low on oil or have a bad oil pump. Do not start the engine. You will blow it up. Big $$$$.

All the dash lights come on just before you start the engine. If any of the lights do not go off after you've started your engine, then there's a problem. ;)

Sometimes it's a maintenance problem, you can take it to a mechanic and he can diagnose it on the computer. If there are no problems they can just reset the light. Most likely it's just a maintenance thing that pops up every so many miles.
