What does it mean when the Scirocco's oil light turns yellow?

When the Scirocco's oil light turns yellow, it indicates that the oil level is too low and needs to be refilled as soon as possible. A low oil level means the oil surface is low. Normally, the sensor can detect the oil level correctly, but during sharp turns, the oil is thrown to one side by centrifugal force, causing the sensor to detect a low oil level and trigger the warning. Refill the oil promptly, and the warning will disappear once the oil level stabilizes. Here are some additional details: 1. If the dashboard yellow light comes on while driving, it means the engine requires maintenance/service. At this point, the engine should be checked immediately, and the vehicle should be taken to a nearby repair shop for maintenance/service. Since the engine is the heart of the vehicle, regular maintenance is crucial to avoid breakdowns while driving. 2. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions such as lubrication, reducing friction, aiding in cooling, sealing against leaks, preventing rust and corrosion, and acting as a shock absorber. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of the car. The engine is the heart of the vehicle, containing many metal surfaces that move against each other at high speeds in harsh conditions, with operating temperatures ranging from 400°C to 600°C. Only high-quality lubricants can reduce wear and tear on engine components and extend their lifespan under such extreme conditions.
