Yes, as long as the 3 wishes all revolve around wishing you had checked the oil level before the light came on and that you had topped the oil up when required and that you actually had oil with you to top up the level :lol:
One of the fail points in the Toyota Prius range is the lack of an oil level light. The oil level gets low, the hybrid engine kicks in on a steep hill where a heavy foot was applied to the throttle and "bang, poww snap" like came up on the screen in the Batman tv series, a lot of the bits that were inside the engine are now outside the engine.

In the old days we used to check the oil levels at every fuel fill up. Leaky Pommy cars!
Now days we rely on a warning indicator to tell us that we should have checked the oil.
On the GQ I check it regularly ... including the brake fluid, radiator & power steering.
On the Madza 3 it is a rare event for me to lift the bonnet.
The battery on the Mazda died recently & the dash lit up like a Christmas tree with a load of strange lights. Good old RACQ was quick on the job with a fix.
HI
As expected once the light comes on damage is already occurring . That's why there called idiot lights .
Done once u will get away with it ,done repeatedly engine wear starts rapidly. Specifically if the level has dropped .
mate had a 48 Holden in 60's,,, fill her up with oil and top up petrol was the standing joke,,, mind you we gave our cars heaps in those days ,,,just before we grew up,,lol
