Yes, low oil can cause the check engine light (CEL) to flash. Typically, the engine oil is crucial for lubricating and cooling the moving parts within the engine. When the oil level is too low, it can lead to increased friction and overheating of engine components. This, in turn, might trigger the vehicle's onboard diagnostic system (OBD-II) to illuminate the CEL as a warning of potential damage or malfunction. However, the check engine light could indicate a variety of other issues unrelated to the engine oil level, ranging from a loose gas cap to more severe engine problems. It's important to check the oil level regularly and diagnose the specific cause of a flashing CEL with a professional mechanic or by using an OBD-II scanner.

Q why an engine burns oil
AugustClarissa
MirabelleDutt Release Time: April 1, 2024, 7:13 PM
There could be several reasons why an engine burns oil: 1. Worn Valve Guides: Over time, engines' valves wear down which leads to oil dripping into the engine's combustion chamber. 2. Faulty or Worn Pistons or Piston Rings: Pistons create pressure within an engine and piston rings seal off the combustion chamber from the crankcase. If they are worn out, oil might leak into the combustion chamber. 3. Damaged or Worn Valve Seals: Like valve guides, valve seals can become worn out due to high heat and pressure and this causes oil leaks. 4. Incorrect Engine Oil: Using a lower viscos oil than the vehicle manufacturer's recommendation might cause more burning. Higher viscosity oils are thicker and don't burn as easily. 5. High Mileage: As a vehicle ages, all its parts, including in the engine, wear out. This leads to increased oil consumption and burning. 6. External Oil Leaks: Oil can sometimes leak from the engine due to damaged gaskets or seals. 7. High-pressure driving habits: Hig...
Q does check engine light automatically fail emissions test

Yes, a lit check engine light generally results in an automatic fail in emissions tests. This light, part of a car's onboard diagnostics system (OBD-II), illuminates when the vehicle's computer detects a problem affecting the engine or its emissions control systems. Since emissions tests are designed to ensure vehicles meet emission standards by limiting pollutants, a check engine light indicates there's likely an issue interfering with the car's ability to adhere to these standards. It's worth noting, though, standards and processes can vary by location. Addressing the underlying problem causing the light to come on is essential not only for passing emissions but also for maintaining the vehicle's performance and environmental compliance. It's advisable to have a professional diagnose and repair the issue before undergoing an emissions test.
