Why do you need to check your oil level?
Check engine oil level
|
Over time, the engine oil level drops because some amount of
oil gets burned in the engine. Driving with very low oil level can
cause serious engine damage. Check this photo;
this engine "trew a rod" when it ran out of oil. That's why the oil
level needs to be checked regularly especially if you notice that your
engine consumes oil between oil changes.
Many cars have maintenance remainders that give you a warning
when your next oil change is due, but a very few cars will actually warn
you if the oil level drops. You still have to check the oil level
manually.
