An oil can with a wavy line under it: the level is low, not the pressure.
Also known as: Oil level light, Oil can with a wave underneath
A different lamp from the oil pressure warning and a far less urgent one. The wavy line under the can is the distinguishing detail, and it means a level to top up rather than a reason to stop.
An amber tell-tale showing an oil can above a wavy line, indicating that the engine oil level is low.

Distinct from the red oil pressure warning, which shows the same can without the wave and means the oil is not circulating. Low level is a top-up; no pressure is an immediate stop.
