Is It Serious If the Engine Oil Level Is at the Lower Limit of the Dipstick?
1 Answers
It is serious if the engine oil level is at the lower limit of the dipstick, and it needs to be replenished as soon as possible. There are strict requirements for the amount of engine oil, and the oil level can be checked using the dipstick, which has a minimum and maximum limit. As long as the oil level is between these two limits, it is within the reasonable range. When changing the engine oil, the oil filter must also be replaced. The new oil filter is empty and contains no oil, so before checking the oil level, the engine should be started and run for a few seconds to allow the new oil filter to fill with oil. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions such as lubrication and friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car.
