It could be your battery. It could also be your alternator, or just corrosion on the battery terminals. I would remove the battery and clean the terminals. Take your battery to a auto parts store. Most will check your battery for free. If your battery is not charged fully ( which is likely) they will have to charge it before testing. This could take a while. If the battery checks out get some battery terminal grease before you leave the store. Reinstall the battery using the grease. Drive the car up to the store and ask to have the charging system checked.
If you can get the car started. This entire procedure can be done at the store. But you would be running the risk of the car quitting on you somewhere on the way to the store.

Are you positive it is the oil light .. If it is then it could be an issue with your oil pump...

It looks like misfiring in one cylinder. That is why check engine come on. Misfiring can be due to spark plugs/wiring/worn distributor cap. Maybe also vaccum leak and clogged injectors (use injector cleaner).
You can read the trouble codes at Autozone store for free
Please kindly let me know if this infor was usefull for you or you need more infro
Good Luck
SOURCE: Charging problem.. Wont charge battery
The instructions for installing a new alternator usually read to fully charge the battery (12.3 - 12.8 volt range). Otherwise, the alternator will be damaged when it initializes. I have seen some extreme damage result from installing a new alternator with a low-charge battery. The torque required to turn an alternator when damaged in this scenario is unbelieveable!

What you need to do is check you fuel pressure. Go to a local auto parts store and buy a fuel injection pressure tester. The pressure fitting is on the top of the motor its a 3/8 ish sized metal line and has a screw on fitting like a tire valve does. This line comes up from the back of the motor to the right of the distributor and goes down into the intake. Make sure to have a rag handy to catch the fuel seepage. After you connect the pressure tester turn the key on and off three times and read the gage you should have atleast 58 pounds of pressure. If you have 56 pounds it won't run because the fuel injectors are a poppit valve style and need atleast 58 pounds of pressure to operate.
