Can You Still Drive When the Car Shows Low Engine Oil?
1 Answers
When the car shows low engine oil, you should not continue driving and need to add engine oil before resuming operation. Engine oil is composed of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of engine oil, determining its fundamental properties, while the additives compensate for and improve the deficiencies of the base oil, making them an essential part of engine oil. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To alleviate friction and high temperatures; 2. To reduce gas leakage and prevent external pollutants; 3. To prevent contact between water, air, acidic harmful gases, and engine components; 4. To buffer the pressure rise in the engine cylinder; 5. To clean dirt generated on the working surfaces of components.
