low level oil light

hi all

light has been on for the last 3 days on the dash ,checked the oil and topped it up a little .it did go out but now has come back on and staying on .levels are good and i dont want to over fill .read on here about sticking sensor is it possible.service not due for another 2000 mile according to dash ,would an oil change make a difference .
big problem is i need to do 500 round trip on wednesday cant get it in garage before i go will it be ok to drive with low level oil light on .

where is the sensor i need to change

just to clarify its the oil can with the word min on it .

also read somewhere to disconnect battery for 30 seconds to reset is it a waste of time .

thanks

i wouldnt drive it that far
id get it in a garage asap
IF there is a problem it could end up costing you a full rebuild
it could be the sensor or the bonnet switch as the light is reset through the switch

thanks for reply
i will take it to garage .i did try disconnecting battery this morning and its seemed to have reset something as it has not come back on yet, drove it for an hour with no light on fingers crossed ..not sure if its coincidence or it has fixed its self and dont know why it would have ?

Its not low oil though is it?
Thought it meant LOW OIL PRESSURE - I'd stop driving it now and get it checked out

even get it towed to a garage because i was on my way to a local garage and the top ceased on the way!which i ended up putting a new engine in!not cheap!

so what does this light really mean as i have always thought it ment low oil level are we are talking about the light on the dis i take it

Normally a light such as this indicates low oil pressure - have you checked the oil level and if low have you topped it up?
If it is low pressure I would want it checked as soon as possible - if you have a breakdown service I'd even call them out.
If it is low pressure you risk major engine damage if you drive it.

the amber light is LOW OIL
the red light is LOW PRESURE
and realy means what it says it will deff take the engine turbo out if you keep driveing
last 1 that went on mine blew within 4 miles
