The Impact of Low Engine Oil on a Car

[LaEmma]

The effects of insufficient engine oil on a car are as follows: 1. Initially, it generally affects the overall lubrication effectiveness of the engine. Particularly for components relying on crankshaft splash lubrication, wear increases significantly or they may even fail directly. 2. When the oil level drops further, more severe damage can occur. All internally lubricated components such as the camshaft, crankshaft, cylinder liners, and bearings may be damaged. 3. Continuing to drive with insufficient engine oil can cause immense harm to the engine. In mild cases, it may lead to cylinder scoring and burning out the crankshaft and bearings, while in severe cases, the engine may be completely ruined.
