Can the car continue to drive if it shows a lack of engine oil?

It is not recommended to continue driving if the engine is low on oil, as continuing to drive may damage the engine. Here is the relevant information: 1. Function: Engine oil is referred to as the lifeblood of the engine. Without oil, the engine cannot operate properly. Engine oil serves to lubricate, clean, seal, cushion, prevent rust, and dissipate heat within the engine. A lack of oil can impair lubrication and heat dissipation, potentially leading to engine seizure if driving continues. 2. Principle: During normal engine operation, the oil forms a protective film on the surfaces of various engine components, preventing direct contact between them. This reduces friction among components and lowers the engine's operational resistance.
