When a car displays a red oil can dripping, it indicates that the engine oil warning light is on. At this point, you should immediately stop the vehicle and check the engine oil. There are many reasons that can cause the engine oil warning light to illuminate, including insufficient engine oil, poor oil quality, and excessively high engine temperature. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. Clogging of the oil filter; 2. Insufficient oil level, which reduces the oil pump's output or causes it to fail to pump oil due to air intake, leading to a drop in oil pressure; 3. Poor oil quality, where the selected oil has a low viscosity, resulting in poor sealing and air leakage; 4. The selected oil has excessively high low-temperature viscosity, making it difficult to pump. If the engine oil warning light comes on, you should promptly go to a 4S shop for inspection and repair.
