Oil Light 98 Vienta

When the oil warning light comes on, the engine has got problems and needs to be looked at and the problem fixed.

Have a look at the thread titled "Kluger Low Oil Warning Indication" using the Search functionality. 

I posted this URL for consideration

Best case scenario is that it is a faulty oil pressure switch or worst case scenario being the engine is sludged up and restricting oil flow.

Check the engine valve cover for oil sludge. If badly sludged up, consider removing the oil pan and check that the oil pickup screen is not clogged.

Personally, I had noticed a warning light briefly illuminate a few weeks ago. Next morning, checked the oil level and nothing on the dipstick. No obvious leak under my Aurion so topped up the oil. Drove a few kms to the girlfriend's place and noticed a massive oil leak caused by a pinhole leak in an oil line rubber hose. Immediately taken off the road and repaired.

Just demonstrates that you need to investigate and rectify the cause unless you want a massive engine repair bill.
