We’ve established that motor oil is essential for lubricating your engine’s internal moving parts. So, it makes sense that if your engine doesn’t get the proper amount of oil, those moving parts are going to become a lot more intimate. Instead of gently sliding past one another, internal components may begin grinding, clunking, and thudding into each other as the engine moves. Not only will that cause a lot of damage, resulting in things like metal shavings and even broken parts, but it will also most likely cause a lot of unpleasant noise.
Your car can make many strange sounds, which can indicate various problems. If your engine is extremely low on oil, you may hear noises like thudding, grinding, knocking, or clunking coming from the engine bay. Hearing these noises is not a good sign. It most likely means that your engine has already been without oil for a significant period of time. The damage is probably already done, and you’ll most likely need extensive repairs. Engine noises don’t always indicate low oil levels, though. Various issues can cause this problem, including bad spark plugs or worn-out piston rod bearings. If you experience this issue, you should contact a professional mechanic immediately. While your engine is probably already damaged, contacting a repair technician as soon as possible can help prevent even more severe problems and costlier repairs.
