This winter, a large number of car owners have encountered a very unusual symptom of a malfunction in their favorite “swallow”: while driving, the “oil can” icon suddenly
Winter, cold, frost and already forgotten operating problems fell on the Central Russian car enthusiast out of nowhere. It’s been a long time since the weather was so cold that the frost crackled and the new battery could barely turn the crankshaft in failed attempts to “wake up” the engine in the morning. Everyone immediately thought about the battery that had not been removed at night, and about the clogged heater, which should have been washed a long time ago, and about the non-working heated seats. However, there were even worse problems.
For example, several cases with the same symptoms have been described in various car clubs: while driving, the oil pressure light comes on for no apparent reason, the driver immediately stops – which is not surprising, because this is the fatal and most dangerous malfunction with a personal indicator on the dashboard – and sees an oil painting, forgive the tautology. The entire engine compartment, with emphasis on the hood insulation, is filled with lubricant. It’s clear what happened. But what? The seals are in place, the plug is on the filler neck, where should I look?
The focus, as always, is on the most visible and visible, but usually not obvious: the oil dipstick. Frost can cause oil to flow through the pipe. How is this possible? The answer is also simple: when the crankcase ventilation system freezes, the pressure can disable the dipstick and the life-giving lubricant can spread throughout the engine compartment. This does not happen often, but sometimes it happens, for which you need to be mentally prepared in the cold. What must we do?
The cable, if there is a service nearby, or a tow truck, and then freeze it in a warm room, wash the old one and fill it with new lubricant. And of course to understand the reasons for what happened: wear and tear or a design flaw inherent in a particular model?
Theoretically there shouldn’t be too much damage, and solving the problem shouldn’t cost a fortune, but you can only “get away with it” in one case: if you notice that same light on the dashboard in time and immediately turn comes out of the engine. Otherwise this will lead to oil starvation and scratches on the cylinders. And here one new oil and a cloth will not be enough to remove the effects of the “fountain”.
