Why does the oil light come on and the car shake?
1 Answers
Here are the specific reasons for the oil light coming on and the car shaking: 1. Insufficient oil volume: The oil pump's pumping volume decreases or fails to pump oil due to air intake, resulting in a drop in oil pressure. 2. Engine overheating: This thins the oil, causing it to leak excessively through the gaps and leading to a drop in oil pressure. 3. Clogged oil filter: A blocked oil filter or oil suction screen will reduce oil pressure. 4. Incorrect oil selection: Using the wrong type or grade of oil can cause increased leakage due to the oil's low viscosity during engine operation, thereby reducing oil pressure.
