Oil pressure light is on while I'm driving
I have a Mazda RX8 2004. The oil pressure light was on while I'm driving. I need to get back home, that's 300km away. Is it safe to drive all these distant with the light still on. Plese help and thank you!

No, it is not safe to even have the engine running with the light on-your oil pressure must be low or lost-serious engine damage will result.
Check oil level, and if low add to the full mark. If light goes out, you may be alright. If light is still on with car running, get to a shop immediately for diagnosis.
