What is the vehicle warning light that resembles Aladdin's lamp?

Like Aladdin's lamp, the vehicle warning light is the oil pressure warning light, indicating that the oil level is too low. Here is an introduction to automotive engine oil: 1. Function: Engine oil can lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal and prevent leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. It is known as the "blood" of the car. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. Base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties. Additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil's performance and provide certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil.
That genie lamp symbol I've seen a few times while driving is usually the oil pressure warning light on the dashboard. The shape resembling Aladdin's oil lamp is designed for instant problem recognition. When illuminated, it indicates low engine oil pressure - possibly due to insufficient oil level or pump failure. The first time I encountered it, I ignored it and nearly destroyed my engine, later costing me a fortune in repairs. Immediate action is advised: stop the car, turn off the engine, open the hood and check oil level with the dipstick. Oil should be between MIN and MAX marks - if low, try adding a liter but don't force drive to a shop. Potential causes include leaks, aged oil or sensor failure. Monthly oil level checks can prevent this, and avoid long drives in hot weather. Remember: safety first - don't risk driving to minimize damage.
