Bummer! A red light will illuminate on your dashboard. It concerns the engine oil, so it is wise to stop on the side of the road for a moment. Wait 10/15 minutes and check the oil level. Too little engine oil… what now? Depending on the quantity, it is not wise to simply continue driving. Too little engine oil can cause major damage. Engine oil will have to be added.

Engine oil ensures that there is sufficient lubrication between all moving parts in the engine block. In addition, it provides internal protection and largely prevents engine wear. Too little engine oil provides less lubrication and protection. Over time, when the oil level decreases even further, a seizure can occur and this is extremely expensive! So don't take any risks, top up the engine oil to the correct oil level and, if you are unsure, drive to the nearest garage.

Conclusion, too little engine oil is not good! Does your engine use oil? Then it is advisable to always have a liter engine oil to have in the trunk.
