Is the red light of automobile oil caused by the quality of lubricating oil?
Views:545 Updated:2020-08-13

The flashing oil pressure alarm light of the vehicle means that when the "low oil pressure alarm" installed on the main oil channel of the engine lubrication system is lower than the specified value (the specified value of different engines is different), the alarm indicator light will turn red.

The flashing of red light is related to many factors, which is a relatively complex problem, involving the operating conditions of the engine and whether the selection of oil is reasonable. Generally, there are several possibilities:
Insufficient oil
The engine oil lamp of the car is on. The first reaction of the owner is that the engine oil is not enough. At this time, it needs to be checked in time. Use the oil dipstick to determine the oil margin. The operation method is very simple, that is, park the car on a relatively flat road, and let it stand for more than ten minutes, then pull out the oil dipstick and check the oil margin. If it is lower than the lower limit of the oil dipstick, the oil level is insufficient, and it needs to be added.


Engine temperature too high
When the car is used for a long time, the cooling system is prone to poor heat dissipation. After the engine overheats, it will accelerate the deterioration of the oil. If the oil deteriorates, the oil fault light will also be on. Therefore, in the daily driving process, it is also necessary to maintain and maintain the cooling system of the car, especially in the high temperature weather in summer, and the antifreeze needs to be replaced in time.


Oil model viscosity selection error
The oil used by each car is different. If the wrong oil is added, the oil fault light of the car will also light up.
Therefore, under the condition that the oil quality remains unchanged, it will not cause bright red accident.


However, some car owners will say that the oil fault light of my car only comes on after changing the oil. In fact, most of these accidents are caused by mechanical failure or improper human operation.
There are mainly the following situations:
After the vehicle has just been overhauled, the first time the oil is used, there will often be a red light. The main reason is that the gap fit of various parts of the engine changes greatly after the repair. This phenomenon will occur if the engine is not running-in. In addition, it is more critical that the car repair technician will not think that his repair technology is not up to standard, so the main reason for the fault is the oil, which also aggravates the misunderstanding of a considerable number of drivers about the oil quality.
In this case, the red light will disappear after changing the oil once or twice. If it still exists from time to time, it means that the mechanical failure of the vehicle has not been completely eliminated and it needs to be overhauled. Another common situation is that the car owner has changed the oil and there is no problem with the oil, but the fault light is still on, because the car owner has neglected an important link - oil filter.
The mechanical filter has been used for a long time, and the effect is very bad. The engine oil is difficult to filter, or the mechanical filter is blocked by the remaining impurities in the old oil. This phenomenon often occurs. The last common situation is that the vehicle uses a kind of engine oil, and the red light always comes on after running for a long time (after using it for a week). At this time, it is necessary to consider whether the piston ring in the engine cylinder is worn or broken, there is gas leakage, the fuel dilutes the engine oil and the lubricating effect is lost, and the red light is on due to insufficient sealing.
This situation is easy to judge. Drain the oil and smell whether there is strong fuel smell. Therefore, it is better to leave residual oil for analysis in order to find out the cause better.
