What is the reason for the flashing oil can light?
1 Answers
The reason for the flashing oil can light is insufficient engine oil in the car, which leads to a reduction in the oil pump's output or failure to pump oil due to air intake, resulting in a drop in the car's oil pressure and causing the oil can light to illuminate. The red oil can light in a car is the engine oil pressure indicator. If it lights up, it indicates that the car's oil pressure has deviated from the rated range. Reasons for the deviation in the car's oil pressure include oil burning in the car without timely oil replenishment, leading to a decrease in the engine's oil content. When the car's oil can light comes on, it is best to pull over and turn off the engine to avoid causing more significant damage to the car and the engine. In daily driving and maintenance, it is necessary to add oil promptly to keep the oil level within a certain range.
