Is It Dangerous When Engine Oil Life Is Below 30%?
1 Answers
Engine oil life below 30% is not dangerous. When the engine oil life is below 30%, you can still continue using the vehicle without causing any danger. However, if it drops to 5% or even lower, it's best to get maintenance at a 4S shop. At this point, the old oil may have deteriorated, losing its original lubrication and cooling effects, and prolonged use could lead to severe wear on some engine components. Methods to determine whether to change the oil: 1. Observe the color of the oil. If it has turned significantly darker than before or has visible impurities floating on the surface, it means the oil is no longer usable and needs replacement. 2. Judge by driving feel. If you notice obvious engine vibration and louder engine noise, you should go to a 4S shop as soon as possible for an oil change. 3. Use the more scientific oil test paper method to determine whether the oil needs replacement.
