Why is the oil light on in a van?
1 Answers
Reasons for the oil light being on: insufficient oil level, excessively high engine temperature, damaged oil pump components, etc. The following are specific explanations: Insufficient oil level: reduces the oil pump's output or causes it to pump air instead of oil, leading to a drop in oil pressure and thus triggering the oil light. Excessively high engine temperature: can thin the oil, causing it to leak excessively through the gaps between components and resulting in a drop in oil pressure, which activates the oil light. Damaged oil pump components: when parts of the oil pump are damaged or excessive gaps occur due to wear, assembly issues, etc., it can cause the oil pump to fail to pump oil or pump insufficient oil, leading to the oil light turning on.
