Q
can dirty oil cause check engine light
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Yes, dirty or contaminated oil can potentially cause the check engine light to come on. This is because dirty oil can lead to poor engine performance by clogging up the oil filter and preventing the adequate lubrication of engine parts. Over time, this can result in increased engine wear, overheating, and even damage to critical components. Modern vehicles are equipped with various sensors, including those monitoring oil quality and pressure. If these sensors detect an issue, such as insufficient lubrication or incorrect oil pressure due to contamination, they can trigger the check engine light as a warning. Therefore, regular oil changes and using the correct oil type as recommended by the vehicle’s manufacturer are essential for preventing such issues.
