How Long Can You Drive When the Engine Oil Warning Light Comes On?

[LeonardoMarie]

When the engine oil warning light comes on, you should immediately open the engine compartment to check the oil level. If the oil is below the minimum mark, you should not continue driving the vehicle. Turn off the engine immediately and wait for assistance, as continued use may cause engine damage. Below are the specific steps for adding engine oil: 1. If the car's engine oil is insufficient, you can add it yourself. However, it is important to ensure that the oil level remains slightly below the upper mark on the dipstick. First, turn off the engine and open the car's engine hood. 2. Next, locate the oil filler cap and unscrew it. Do not pour the oil directly in at this point. You need to first clean out the old oil from the oil tank. Open the drain plug and collect the old oil in a prepared container. 3. Note that the oil you add should be the same brand as the previous oil, and the opened oil bottle should not be older than one year. Once everything is ready, use a funnel to pour the oil into the oil tank through the filler opening.
