An idiot light isn't for idiots. It's an alarm, which allows you to keep your eyes where they should be: on the road ahead.
That's me.

What the hell do you know about this stuff?
Agreed on the warning light, but the OEM oil light is too low to do anything but inform you it's time to go shortblock shopping. The gauge is really to make sure you don't have a slower failure. One member here just saved his motor by catching something early. Good gauges have the warning light set to come on at a high enough pressure to at least have a chance of shutting the car down.
