I believe you have the same questions as the master:
After the oil gauge light is on
How far can the car go?
Will continued driving cause damage to the vehicle?
Let's find out with the master!
According to the general normal fuel consumption to calculate, when the fuel gauge light is on, it can basically run another 50-90 kilometers, and the specific mileage is related to different models and fuel consumption. We can extend the use time of the remaining oil amount through the following tips to solve the urgent need.
01
Reasonable control of vehicle speed
When the fuel tank is about to bottom, remember not to drive aggressively with big feet on the throttle. For low-displacement cars of 1.3L-1.8L, the most fuel-efficient speed is between 45-60km/h, and as for high-displacement cars of 2.0L-3.0L, the most fuel-efficient speed is between 55-75km/h. However, if you are driving on the highway, avoid driving at low speeds to avoid danger.
02
Reduce braking
If the fuel gauge light is on, pay attention to driving smoothly. Reasonable gear shifting, slow on the accelerator, prejudging the surrounding vehicles and road conditions in advance, and avoiding frequent braking can also reduce fuel consumption.
03
Turn off excess appliances on the car
The engine not only provides power to the car, but also provides power to the battery, and turning on too many appliances will increase the load on the engine. Therefore, when the amount of oil is insufficient, turning off the air conditioner, radio and other electrical equipment on the car can reduce fuel consumption.
04
Close the windows
When the fuel gauge light is on, driving with the window open will increase the resistance of the car to move forward, which in turn will increase fuel consumption.
05
Pay attention to the road conditions and avoid congested roads
In the case of too low oil, it is necessary to plan the route in advance reasonably, pay attention to the driving conditions, and avoid congested road sections. Also, try to choose some smooth roads to avoid potholed roads.
Finally, the master reminded the owner of the car that the car driving at a low oil level for a long time will lead to unstable engine operation, which may also lead to stalling, difficulty in starting and other phenomena. We must always pay attention to the amount of oil on the fuel gauge, refuel in advance, and try to avoid driving with low oil!
