2001 dodge caravan. When key is turned to on but not started, engine and oil light come on? The van just died when my wife was driving.
We added two quarts of oil and now it seems to be running fine. I am worried about the lights that come on when key is turned to on position. Any ideas?

Those lights will usually come on when the ignition is switched on - but before the engine is started. It's to let you know that they're working. Once the engine is turning over they should go out.
If they don't, have the car checked out by a mechanic. As they're meant to go on if there's any trouble, there has to be a way to check that they're working. If one of those lights had gone out, there wouldn't be any (early) way for the car to let you know that there was trouble brewing.
That is perfectly normal, as dabac said, when you first turn the key, they trouble lights will come on, it's just to tell you the lights are working, when you start the engine they will go off. In fact your van is operating perfectly, when the van died, it was because the oil pressure switch detected low oil pressure, as a built in safety device, the switch shuts down the engine to prevent serious damage by running with low oil. When you added the 2 quarts of oil, you fixed the problem.
You may want to check your oil more often to keep it from getting that low.
