What Causes Low Engine Oil Level in a New Car?
1 Answers
Possible reasons include insufficient oil storage, dirty oil, thin oil, or a faulty oil pressure gauge. Insufficient oil storage: When the engine oil storage is insufficient, the lubrication system lacks oil or has too little oil, resulting in low oil pressure. Solution: Add more oil. Dirty oil: Dirty or viscous oil prevents the oil pump from effectively drawing in and pumping out oil, leading to low or no oil pressure. Solution: Change the oil. Thin oil: Thin oil or oil that has become thin due to high engine temperature may leak through the gaps between engine friction pairs, causing low oil pressure. Solution: Change the oil or inspect the cooling system. Faulty oil pressure gauge: If the oil pressure gauge is faulty, replace it with a new one to accurately measure oil pressure.
