What does it mean when the car dashboard shows oil pressure?
1 Answers
It may be caused by insufficient oil level or excessively high engine temperature. Below is extended information about engine oil: 1. Increased fuel consumption: When adding engine oil, the oil level should be between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. If too much oil is added, the expanding volume when the engine temperature rises will increase pressure in the oil chamber, raise operating resistance, reduce vehicle power, and increase fuel consumption. 2. Overfilling oil: Excessive oil can cause oil to leak through the crankcase vent pipe, increase crankcase pressure, and loosen oil seals due to oil pressure, leading to oil leaks. 3. Heat dissipation: Overfilling oil can affect engine cooling.
