How Far Can You Drive When the Oil Insufficiency Warning Appears?
1 Answers
If the dashboard indicates insufficient oil, you can drive for a short period in an emergency, but it is recommended to visit a repair facility as soon as possible. Driving with insufficient oil can cause engine overheating, increase wear, severely affect engine performance, and even lead to serious consequences such as cylinder scuffing and bearing seizure. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It lubricates and reduces friction, assists in cooling, seals against leaks, prevents rust and corrosion, and provides shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Composition: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, providing new characteristics. Additives are an essential part of lubricating oil.
