What does the car kettle symbol mean?

[Don]

The car kettle symbol is the engine oil pressure warning light, which serves an alert function. Here are the reasons why the oil pressure warning light stays on: 1. Insufficient engine oil level, causing the lubrication system to have no or insufficient oil, resulting in low oil pressure. Solution: Add engine oil. 2. The oil is too dirty or viscous, preventing the oil pump from effectively drawing and pumping oil, leading to low or no oil pressure. Solution: Replace the engine oil. 3. Oil dilution or thinning due to high engine temperature causes oil leakage through engine friction gaps, resulting in low oil pressure. Solution: Change oil or repair the cooling system. 4. Oil pipe leakage, damaged oil pump, or excessively worn components reduce or eliminate oil intake and pumping, causing low or no oil pressure. Solution: Repair the engine. 5. Excessive clearance between the crankshaft and bearings leads to oil leakage and low oil pressure. Solution: Inspect the engine crankshaft.
