If you get a low oil pressure light, that means it's triggered the "your engine is going to blow" low oil pressure point.
Agreed.

I've got a mechanical gauge that gets checked on each straight, and a dash that will flash the shift lights at me when (IIRC) the pressure is below 30 psi and the RPMs are over 3K. I haven't had them go off, but if they did and it was safe to do so I'd shut it off, park offline, and hope for the best.
