What does it mean when the engine oil light comes on?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons why the engine oil light in a car may come on: 1. The engine oil viscosity is too high. 2. The pressure relief valve is clogged or improperly adjusted. 3. Insufficient engine oil level. 4. The engine temperature is too high. 5. Malfunction of the engine oil bypass valve. 6. The engine oil filter is clogged. Here is some relevant information: When the engine oil light on the car dashboard comes on, it generally appears in two colors: yellow and red. A yellow light indicates that the engine oil level is low but the car can still be driven normally. If the light is red, it means there is a severe shortage of engine oil or a blockage, and the car should be stopped immediately to call for a tow truck.
