What does the engine overheating symbol look like?
1 Answers
The engine overheating symbol is an icon resembling a thermometer with two wavy lines beneath it. Below are the consequences of excessive engine oil temperature: Localized Overheating: Due to poor heat conduction, localized overheating occurs, particularly in components far from the radiator along the coolant circulation path and with weak structural integrity. This can lead to localized deformation, cracks, and burn damage. Reduction in Oil Viscosity: This causes a decrease in oil viscosity, oil burn-off, and the destruction of the oil film at lubrication points in the engine, accelerating component wear. In severe cases, it may result in bearing seizure or cylinder scoring. Engine Overheating: Excessive engine temperature causes the fuel injected into the cylinders to ignite prematurely, reducing compression force and power output. It also leads to thermal expansion of parts causing jamming and significantly diminishes bearing performance, among other adverse effects.
