If the red oil warning light comes on, the safest option is to stop the car in a safe place and switch off the engine. Continuing to drive can cause serious engine damage. A yellow oil-level message can be an exception, but even then you should check the oil and watch for symptoms.
A battery warning light on while driving usually indicates a charging problem rather than a worn battery. The car may still run but uses stored battery energy. When voltage falls, systems can switch off and the engine may stall and fail to restart.
