What does the oil can warning light mean?
1 Answers
A yellow light indicates that the engine oil is beginning to run low, but the vehicle can still be driven normally. If it's red, it signifies a severe shortage or blockage of engine oil. Below is relevant information: 1. Engine oil pressure warning light: This is an indicator that checks the engine oil level in the car. If the engine oil is too low, the light will illuminate. If the oil warning light comes on, it's essential to thoroughly check the issue. Otherwise, insufficient oil can lead to the engine not being properly cooled or lubricated, resulting in severe engine wear. 2. Engine overheating: Prolonged aggressive driving can cause the engine to operate under high temperature and load conditions. Even if the oil level is sufficient, excessive heat can thin the oil, causing it to leak through the gaps and leading to a drop in oil pressure.
