What does the teapot symbol on the car dashboard mean?
1 Answers
The teapot symbol on the car dashboard refers to the engine oil warning light. The reasons for its illumination are: 1. Insufficient engine oil level; 2. Engine temperature is too high; 3. Oil pump wear causing abnormal operation; 4. Improper internal engine coordination; 5. Excessive carbon deposits clogging the oil filter; 6. Pressure relief valve set pressure is too low or improperly adjusted. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, is composed of base oil and additives. It serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. The method to reset the oil light is: 1. Turn off the ignition switch and hold the set button; 2. Turn on the ignition switch and press the button on the left side of the instrument panel.
