What to Do If Engine Oil Is Insufficient?
1 Answers
When the engine oil is insufficient, the engine's cooling and heat dissipation capacity will decrease, causing the engine to overheat internally, which can further lead to phenomena such as bearing bush ablation and cylinder scoring. During driving, symptoms like insufficient power and excessive oil consumption can be felt. Consequences of Insufficient Oil: It can cause friction between various internal components of the engine, resulting in poor surface lubrication. If the engine lubrication is inadequate, it will exacerbate the wear and tear of the parts. Solutions for Insufficient Oil: When it is found that the oil level is too low, try to find a nearby repair shop or gas station to replenish the oil as soon as possible. Remember to use the same type of oil as the original oil and avoid mixing it with other oils, as this can alter the oil's performance, such as reducing its lubrication and cooling properties, making it unable to better protect the engine. Consequences of Excessive Oil: The oil level should not be too high either; the oil level must not exceed the upper limit on the dipstick. Otherwise, it can easily increase the engine load, affecting performance. Over time, the engine's exhaust ventilation system is also prone to damage, increasing carbon deposits. Excessive oil can also lead to oil burning.
