I know the dipstick can’t lie but surely it would have seized up if the car has no oil in it?
Assuming the dipstick is correctly located in the tube, it probably does have some oil in it, just not enough to register on the dipstick, this is usually a bad thing. Get some oil in it ASAP, before you next start the engine ! get it up to the max mark on the dipstick then monitor the levels – check it every day until you understand how much it is losing and how its losing it.
All cars have an oil pressure light, but if this comes on while the engine is running, it usually means the engine is knackered, and is typically followed very quickly by a banging sound and then bits of engine falling out onto the road.
Some (quite a lot of modern cars) also have an oil level light – but I really wouldnt rely on it – the dipstick is your golden source of truth regarding oil levels*
* My bmw doesnt have a dipstick, only an oil level sensor and I dont like it at all, I guess I’m old fashioned.
