What Happens When Engine Oil Decreases?
1 Answers
Hazards of low engine oil: 1. Continuing to drive with insufficient engine oil can cause minor damage such as cylinder wall scoring and burnt crankshaft or bearings, while severe cases may lead to complete engine failure; 2. Cylinder scoring or seizure may occur as engine components suffer severe wear without proper lubrication, affecting vehicle lifespan and driving safety; 3. Engine oil primarily serves four functions: lubrication, sealing, heat dissipation, and rust prevention. Operating with insufficient oil leads to inadequate lubrication, poor sealing, and insufficient cooling, resulting in excessive wear, localized severe damage, or even complete engine failure. Engine oil refers to specialized lubricants for internal combustion engines, performing additional functions like cleaning, rust prevention, and cooling beyond lubrication.
