While driving, the engine oil pressure warning light comes on in the instrument panel and stays on. What is the most appropriate response?
💡 Hint
The engine oil pressure warning light means lubricating oil is not being properly supplied to the engine. Judge not by the feeling that the car still runs well, but by what will happen to the engine and to your safety if you keep driving.
Answer: ③
Explanation
The oil pressure warning light means the engine is not getting proper lubrication; continuing to drive can severely damage the engine or make it stop while moving, leading to a crash. So stop somewhere safe, turn off the engine and inspect it. Raising the engine speed only puts more strain on a poorly lubricated engine.
