Tell your father to have the oil pressure manually checked with a gauge and
if it is good to have the oil pressure sending unit replaced and the
connector needs to be cleaned out of any oil. Also have the rubber isolator
in the connector removed.
As far as the engine lite goes, it has nothing to do with the oil lite,
that's another problem.
Have someone scan the engine controller to see what fault code has been set
and let me know.

Got, er, _which_ car? Year, make, model, engine, transmission? (Disregard
Anything from Mr. Stern.) If it isn't a an Spirit or Acclaim he is lost.

The questions you asked are basic questions and could be answered regardless
of the above.

Keep in mind that if the washer fluid does not have the correct amount of
mixture it will freeze and not spray out. Do you hear the motor running on
the pump? Have you popped open the hood to make sure the hose is attached?
