What does the butter pot symbol on the car dashboard indicate?
1 Answers
The butter pot symbol displayed on the car dashboard indicates that the engine oil pressure warning light is activated. Here are the reasons why the engine oil pressure warning light may illuminate: 1. Insufficient engine oil level: When the oil level is too low, the oil pump's output decreases or fails to pump oil due to air intake, resulting in reduced oil pressure. 2. Overheated engine: Excessive engine temperature can thin the engine oil, causing significant leakage through component clearances and leading to oil pressure drop. 3. Damaged oil pump components: When oil pump parts are damaged or excessive clearance occurs due to wear or improper assembly, the pump may fail to deliver sufficient oil, causing pressure reduction.
