Which symbol indicates low engine oil level in a car?
1 Answers
Low engine oil level is indicated by a teapot-like symbol on the dashboard. This warning light displays the oil pressure status in the engine. When you turn the ignition key and the vehicle begins self-check, this indicator will illuminate and then turn off after engine start. If this light remains constantly on, it means the engine oil pressure is below the required standard and requires immediate attention. There are multiple potential causes for the oil warning light to illuminate. Once you notice the low oil level indicator lights up on the instrument panel, you should immediately take the vehicle to an authorized service center for inspection. Continuing to drive under this condition may accelerate engine wear and could potentially cause irreversible damage to the engine. Typically, after adding sufficient oil and resolving the underlying issue, the low oil warning light on the dashboard will automatically turn off.
