Automobiles are absolutely essential to get from one place to another in today's busy world. However, it is important to keep in mind that automobiles must be maintained in order to continue running properly. Cars have been built to give the driver warning signals when something is wrong or requires maintenance. Most models have an oil light that is located within the dashboard. When an oil light is on so that it is visible to the driver, it could mean the following:
- An oil change is required.
- The car is low on oil.
- There could be a problem with the oil filter.
- It’s also possible you have an oil leak.
Any indicator or warning lights within the interior of the car should be taken seriously. Oil is essential to keep the motor running efficiently. In addition, if the car is low on oil, you can potentially damage the engine if not addressed as soon as possible. If the vehicle is fairly new, your best bet is to take it back to the dealership for maintenance. Here at Bob Allen Chrysler Jeep Dodge & Ram, we care about your vehicle.
