What are the reasons for low oil pressure in a car engine?
1 Answers
Reasons for low oil pressure in a car engine: 1. When the vehicle's oil level is insufficient, it results in a lack of oil available in the engine, leading to low oil pressure. In this case, simply adding oil to meet the specified standard is sufficient; 2. If impurities are present in the oil, they can clog the oil delivery pipes, causing low oil pressure. In this situation, the oil should be replaced; 3. When the oil is too thin, its viscosity significantly decreases, making it easier for the oil to leak through the gaps between various components, resulting in low oil pressure. In this scenario, the oil should be replaced or a thicker oil should be added.
