How long can you drive with the Q5 oil warning light on?
1 Answers
The oil warning light should not be ignored, and you should pull over immediately. The reasons for the oil warning light coming on are as follows: Insufficient oil level: High engine temperature, oil pump wear causing abnormal operation, improper internal engine coordination, excessive carbon buildup clogging the oil filter, pressure relief valve set too low or improperly adjusted. Oil is also known as engine lubricant, which is composed of base oil and additives. Low oil level: If the oil indicator light turns yellow while driving, indicating low oil level, this generally means the engine oil is insufficient. If the yellow oil light comes on, you need to park the car in a safe place and check the oil level. If the dipstick shows the oil level is not within the normal range, then you need to add oil.
