What is the engine oil symbol?
2 Answers
Engine oil symbol is an oil can. Here is more information about joint-venture vehicles: Definition of joint-venture vehicles: Projects jointly established by Chinese and foreign investors. Chinese investment methods: Providing land and factory usage rights, capital; Foreign investors provide brand, technology, capital, talent, etc. Joint-venture vehicles are products of such cooperation. Foreign parties provide technology, talent, brand, etc. for domestic assembly, but core technologies are still controlled by foreign parties. Reasons for higher prices of joint-venture vehicles: Insufficient domestic production capacity, intellectual property issues, and core technologies mainly relying on foreign sources. These factors result in relatively higher prices for joint-venture vehicles.
As a new car owner, the first time I saw that yellow symbol resembling an oil can, I was really nervous and had no idea what was going on. Later, I asked a friend and learned it's called the oil warning light, indicating an issue with the oil system—possibly low oil level or insufficient oil pressure. If not addressed promptly, the engine could overheat or even be ruined, and repairs can be costly. Now, I make it a habit to glance at the dashboard before driving. If the light comes on, I immediately pull over, pop the hood, and check the dipstick. If the oil level is below the minimum mark, I top it up with the spare oil I keep in the trunk. If the light stays on, I call for a tow truck and head to the repair shop. This habit has saved me a lot of trouble. Don’t overlook these small details when driving—regular maintenance is key, like changing the oil every 5,000 kilometers.
