Which of the following results may be caused by continuing driving when the engine oil pressure warning light is flashing red?

Description

Vehicle owner's manual issued by its manufacturer and Annex No. 1 to the Regulation of the Minister of Transport, Construction and Maritime Economy of 13 July 2012 (item 1019).

Explanation

Correct answer: Serious damage to the engine.

The red oil pressure warning light on the dashboard signals a critical failure of the lubrication system. Continuing to drive in such a situation, even for a short distance, leads to a rapid increase in friction and temperature. This can result in the engine seizing, which is permanent and very costly damage, so you must stop the vehicle immediately and turn off the engine.
