What Causes the Engine Oil Light to Illuminate?
1 Answers
The reasons for the engine oil light to illuminate: 1. Excessive oil viscosity; 2. Blockage or improper adjustment of the pressure relief valve; 3. Insufficient oil level; 4. Excessive scale in the engine cooling system, poor heat dissipation, prolonged overload operation, or excessively delayed fuel injection timing causing engine overheating; 5. Malfunction of the oil bypass valve; 6. Clogged oil filter. If the oil pressure indicator light comes on after starting, do not continue driving. The first step is to check the oil dipstick to see if the oil level is normal. Add oil if necessary. If no issues are found during the check, proceed to the nearest repair shop for inspection.
