Automotive Expert
ok your battery is dead/too low to start the engine please get a jump start or replace the battery to fix

What about the oil sign?
Automotive Expert
that should only go off then the engine is running if the engine is not running there is low oil pressure so the light will stay on . if you start the car and the light stay on chekc the oil level do not drive

Okay, we are going to walk to get jumper cables and jump the car. If the light is still on then we'll check the oil levels
