Its the 12v oil light that turns on after you start the car.

Ive installed these into a 98 Civic, a 99 Galant, 97 3000GT, and an 01 Eclipse. On all these cars, theres a light in the gauges that either says "Oil" or has a picture of the oil icon. Kinda looks like a gravy bowl.

Ive installed these alarms a couple times, and to me... Im not sure but, IMO I think you'd be better off with an alarm system that uses tach sensing. Rather than 12v. Reason being, is because everytime I installed this system using that 12v oil light it asks for the car sounds like it over-starts. Meaning it sounds like someone is holding the key turned to start a couple seconds longer than usual.
