Can a car shut down when the oil light goes on?
The oil light was on, but the engine was making a noises. Ummmm, NO!

Why does the oil pressure light come on when there is no oil in the engine?
Low Engine Oil Level To create an oil pressure in the engine, the engine needs to pressurize oil. If there is no oil to pressurize, it will be impossible for the oil pump to properly do its job. If your oil pressure light comes on and sometimes disappears, especially when you turn the car, a low engine oil level may cause it.

Why does my oil pressure keep going down?
When these components wear out like bad bearings, oil begins to leak through the openings and big play created. This oil contributes to reducing oil pressure. If you have notices a slowly decreasing oil pressure in your engine over time it can defiently be a sign of wear inside of your engine.
