The teapot symbol on the dashboard is the oil pressure warning light. Below are the reasons why it may illuminate: 1. Insufficient Lubricant: Insufficient amount of lubricant in the oil pan; 2. Improper Valve Adjustment: Incorrect adjustment of the oil pressure limiting valve; 3. Filter Issue: Damage to the lubricant filter gasket; 4. Lubricant Inlet Pipe: Loose connection or rupture of the lubricant inlet pipe. Below is additional information on the functions of engine oil: 1. Reducing Friction and Wear: Minimizing friction and wear on moving parts; 2. Removing Sludge and Paint: Clearing sludge and paint deposits from the engine; 3. Neutralizing Acids: Neutralizing acids produced from fuel and lubricant oxidation; 4. Improving Piston Ring Performance: Enhancing the sealing of piston rings and cooling the engine by dissipating heat from moving parts.
