There are certain things you should know in your car, very little things that can cause severe engine damage if ignored or ignorant of
Somebody reached out to me for an immediate help while on transit from Lagos to East
His ES330 has been rarely driven for over 6 months now so he didn’t see the need for an oil change even when I advised him to do so
The car was moving smoothly until he got to second Niger Bridge and this oil alert below popped up on the dashboard
It comes and goes especially on high RPM, he mistook it for gear oil indicator but his gear oil was ✅ and car was moving very well
The light comes and goes more than 4 times until he reached out to me
He couldn’t park along Onitsha Owerri RD because it was getting late so I advised him to drive on low cruising speed until he gets to owerri safely because there’s less than 1.5L of engine oil left in the engine and the oil temperature is getting above normal
Turn on AC so the two cooling fans will help cool the engine better
On getting to owerri and letting the car cool, he found out that there was very little engine oil left in the car, oil level was at the tip of the oil dipstick
I advised him to top up and drive to his hometown then do a thorough oil service
The oil alert didn’t come on when he drove over 60Km to his hometown after topping oil
Imagine the damage this issue would have caused to the engine if the driver wasn’t observant and didn’t follow instructions
Pay attention to your Car Dashboard and Learn about the dashboard lights
Take your Engine Oil Service very Serious 🚘
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 Y’all.
