I am considering purchasing a car and the po said that he always just overrode any warning lights by pressing a button on the console. He claims they were always for things like low washer fluid etc...
Is there even a low oil warning light in these cars?
thanks!

If I were you, I would not mess around with the warning lights! There is indeed an low oil warning light, and a low oil pressure warning light, and oil temperature warning light as well. The oil in your 911 the most important component because it lubricates and cools down the engine, preventing it from dying prematurely. Better keep an eye on it...

yes flying finn, that is exactly what I am referring to? Is that the light that also shows up when you have low oil and can that be overriden??
Also, how low does the oil level need to get before you get a warning light?

Troppo -
FYI, if there is a warning, there will be two lights that come on--one is the specific warning light and the other is the master warning light. The master warning light can be turned off via the (!) button on the console, however the specific warning light will remain illuminated until addressed.

and - the ! button only extinguishes the master light until the car is shut off. When it is started the next time, the master light will be on again (and can be turned off again.

EDIT: I guess it pays to read all the replies before replying... JasonAndreas (as usual) already gave a perfect explanation re: low oil level.
