What does it mean when the car displays 'Replace Engine Oil Soon'?
1 Answers
The dashboard displaying 'Replace Engine Oil Soon' is a reminder for the car owner to replenish the engine oil promptly and perform vehicle maintenance to prevent engine damage due to insufficient oil. Below are the relevant details: 1. Cars typically have an oil dipstick to measure the remaining engine oil level. The dipstick has two marked lines, H (High) and L (Low). When the oil level falls below the lower line (L), the car's warning light will illuminate, indicating the need for an oil change. 2. During engine operation, engine oil serves functions such as lubrication, sealing, and cooling, reducing friction wear and extending the engine's lifespan. After prolonged driving, it is also advisable to check whether your car's oil reserve is sufficient.
