Do NOT drive your car with the low oil pressure light on. You can do serious damage to your engine. First, check the oil level via the dipstick under the hood. If it's low, add oil up to the Full mark, then start the engine and see if the light goes out. If the light goes out, do an oil and filter change as soon as possible. If the light does not go out, have your car towed to a dealer or reputable shop for a diagnosis.
