How many kilometers can a BMW X2 drive after the oil warning light comes on?
1 Answers
It is best to stop the BMW X2 immediately when the oil warning light comes on, as it indicates a severe shortage of engine oil. Below are detailed explanations: Consequences of the oil warning light: The oil warning light indicates insufficient oil, which can lead to dry friction in certain moving parts. Dry friction causes rapid wear of mechanical components, potentially resulting in the vehicle being completely scrapped. Reasons for the oil warning light: Insufficient oil level reduces the oil pump's output or prevents it from pumping oil due to air intake, leading to a drop in oil pressure. High engine temperatures can thin the oil, causing it to leak excessively through gaps and resulting in low oil pressure. Damage or excessive wear and assembly gaps in oil pump components can also cause the pump to fail or deliver insufficient oil.
