That depends on the vehicle you have, its age, the climate you live in, and how you use it. It's best to check your vehicle's owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommendation. They often recommend a certain type of oil (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.) based on those factors.
Yes, the check engine light (CEL) can turn off by itself if the issue causing it to illuminate is resolved or is no longer detected by your vehicle's on-board diagnostic system (OBD-II) after several driving cycles. A driving cycle typically involves starting your car cold and driving it until it reaches operating temperature. However, this doesn't mean the root problem is necessarily fixed. Some issues, particularly those that aren't critical or affect emissions temporarily, might cause the CEL to flicker on and off. For example, a loose gas cap might trigger the light, which will turn off once the cap is properly secured and the system resets after a few drives. Nonetheless, it's crucial not to ignore the CEL, even if it turns off by itself. Lingering issues, even those that seem minor, can lead to more significant and expensive problems over time. To accurately diagnose and resolve any issues, consult a professional mechanic who can read the diagnostic codes stored in your vehicle's computer system.
Yes, low engine oil can indeed lead to overheating. Engine oil plays a crucial role in lubricating moving parts, reducing friction, and dissipating heat. When oil levels are low, friction between engine components increases, generating excess heat. Additionally, insufficient oil compromises its capacity to absorb and transfer heat away from the engine. This can cause the engine to overheat, potentially resulting in serious damage like warped components or seized engines. Regularly checking and maintaining the correct oil level is essential to prevent overheating and ensure the longevity of your engine. It’s advisable to check oil levels monthly and top up or change the oil as per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
