Can You Continue Driving with Low Engine Oil Level?

[CharlotteMarie]

Driving with low oil pressure can be categorized into three scenarios: 1. 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. 2. Check the oil level: If the oil warning light comes on while driving, find a safe place to pull over and check the oil level. However, this is only for checking the oil level, and you can continue driving to the nearest 4S shop for inspection and repair, but remember to drive slowly. 3. Experiencing vibrations: If the oil warning light on the dashboard comes on and the vehicle can still be driven normally but shows symptoms like vibrations or lack of power during acceleration, continuing to drive may worsen engine wear and could even threaten personal safety and property. In this case, it's advisable to call for a tow truck.
