What is the minimum oil level that should not be exceeded?

[LaOlive]

Oil level should not fall below the lower mark on the dipstick. The dipstick has two standard marks or holes (upper and lower), and the oil level should ideally be maintained between these two marks. The consequences of insufficient oil are: 1. Poor lubrication of engine components, leading to increased friction and accelerated wear - severe cases may result in engine failure; 2. Increased engine noise. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication, friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing, rust prevention, and shock absorption. Engine oil consists of base oil and additives, with the base oil being the primary component that determines the fundamental properties of the lubricant.
