The red oil lamp is bad news - it means you got low oil pressure in the engine !!

I had the light come up on mine and continued driving as the car was running ok and i nearly seized my engine.

It turned out my oil pump had failed due to oil sludge clogging it up ...

Might be worth getting it checked out by mechanic just in case its the start of a more serious problem that could cost a lot of money if you damage your engine...
