What are the consequences of insufficient engine oil?
1 Answers
The consequences of insufficient engine oil are: it can cause severe wear inside the engine, and in serious cases, it may lead to the engine being directly scrapped, reaching an irreparable state. When the engine oil is exhausted, the oil light on the car dashboard will flash to prompt checking the oil condition. If ignored and driving continues, the result will be dry friction or semi-dry friction between the engine cylinder and piston, accelerating the wear of parts. Engine oil, motor oil, or engine lubricant is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, mainly containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade oil viscosity index improvers. Engine oil is used for the lubrication of internal combustion engines.
