What symbol indicates low engine oil in a car?
1 Answers
The car warning light is an oil can-shaped icon with a wavy line underneath. A yellow oil light indicates that the oil level is below the standard lower limit; a red oil light means the oil is severely lacking, possibly due to a leak or a fuel supply system malfunction. Below are the solutions when the oil light comes on: 1. When the yellow oil light comes on: Open the engine hood, wait for about 3-5 minutes, then pull out the dipstick to check the oil level. If the oil level shown on the dipstick is not within the normal range, you need to add oil up to the standard level. 2. If the oil level is within the normal range, the cause of the light is likely a sensor issue. 3. When the red oil light comes on: It is not recommended to continue driving. Stop the car immediately and wait for assistance.
