Can You Continue Driving with Low Engine Oil Level?
1 Answers
It is not advisable to drive with low oil pressure. There are three scenarios: Check the oil dipstick: If the oil pressure warning light comes on after starting the engine, stop driving immediately. The first step is to check the oil dipstick to see if the oil level is normal. If necessary, top up the engine oil. Check the engine oil: If the oil warning light comes on while driving, find a safe place to pull over and inspect the oil level. However, this is only for checking the oil level. You may continue driving to the nearest 4S shop for maintenance, but drive slowly and cautiously. Experiencing vibrations: If the oil warning light on the dashboard comes on and the vehicle can still be driven normally but exhibits symptoms like vibrations or lack of acceleration, continuing to drive may worsen engine wear and even pose a risk to personal and property safety. In such cases, it is advisable to call for a tow truck.
