Can I still drive if the car shows 'Please change the engine oil'? You can still drive, but the driving distance should not be too long, and the engine oil should be changed promptly. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, is composed of base oil and additives, with base oil being the main component of the lubricant. The functions of engine oil include: 1. Cooling and temperature reduction; 2. Sealing and preventing leaks; 3. Cleaning and removing contaminants; 4. Damping and cushioning; 5. Lubrication to reduce wear; 6. Rust and corrosion prevention; 7. Protecting components. Methods for selecting engine oil include: 1. Appearance should be clear with a sulfur content of less than 1%; 2. Carbon residue weight should be less than 1%; 3. Volume of water and sediments should be less than 0.1%; 4. Ash content weight should be less than 0.03%.
