What does the oil can symbol on a motorcycle dashboard mean?
1 Answers
The appearance of an oil can symbol on the display indicates the engine oil warning light. The engine oil warning light is used to display the oil pressure status within the engine. When this symbol appears, it means the engine oil pressure is below the specified standard and requires maintenance. Relevant information about engine oil is as follows: Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. It is often referred to as the "blood" of a vehicle. Composition: Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance, providing certain new characteristics. Additives are an important component of lubricants.
