Can You Drive with Low Engine Oil?
1 Answers
You can drive with low engine oil, but it is not recommended. The reasons are as follows: 1. Engine Damage: Continuing to drive can cause certain damage to the engine, which will become more severe over time. 2. Component Damage: The friction resistance on the friction surfaces of engine components increases, exacerbating wear and tear. The gaps between components also continuously enlarge, making it impossible to cool and dissipate heat from the engine in time, leading to phenomena such as burning and cylinder scoring. Information about engine oil is as follows: 1. Engine Oil (Engine-oil): It is the lubricating oil used by the engine, composed of base oil and additives. 2. Function: With a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), engine oil can lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal and prevent leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and act as a shock absorber for the engine. It is known as the 'blood' of the car.
