What does 'Please change engine oil immediately' mean?

Please change engine oil immediately is a reminder for car owners to replace the engine oil as soon as possible. When the oil level is insufficient, causing the oil pump to deliver less oil or fail to pump oil due to air intake, the oil pressure will drop. The car will then illuminate the low oil pressure warning light, and the dashboard will display 'Please change engine oil immediately'. Continuing to drive for an extended period under these conditions can damage the engine. Cars usually have an oil dipstick to check the remaining amount of engine oil. During the operation of the car engine, engine oil plays roles such as lubrication and friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption, thereby reducing friction loss and extending the engine's service life.
