Red Warning Light??

The Red Warning light on the console came on and beeped twice while I was out yesterday. Its never happened before. The oil pressure and temp all looked OK. What all is the warning light for? It's a 2001 Velocity 280 502 EFI. Thnaks Chris

Check your drive oil bottle.If its a little low that will do it.

That was it..I had checked it earlier and found it was low and added some fluid. No more Red Light !! Now if I can just figure where the heck all this engine oil is going. With 39 hours I shouldn't be adding a quart every 3 hours should I ? Although the guy up at the Fountain place says he uses a quart every 2 hours. But has thin rings. I'm not smoking and no water in the oil and no oil in the engine compartment.
