Why is the oil light on my 2011 Chery J11 beeping?

Question

Accepted Answer

This is the vehicle trying to tell you that the oil level in the engine is low and needs to be topped up to prevent damage to the engine. The engine has a sensor that is triggered when the oil level drops below a pre-determined level, at which point the oil level is not quite low enough to cause damage. If it continues to fall, however, that will change. So don’t drive the car any farther until the oil has been topped up.
By the way, all engines use some oil; it’s a normal part of the way an engine works. Some modern engines with low-friction internals will use a little more oil than some older engine designs, too, and this can catch some people out. But don’t panic, because this is one of the ways a modern engine saves fuel.
What you need to be aware of is how much oil the engine consumes as normal, and make sure that doesn’t start to increase which would indicate engine wear is occurring. For reference, the grade of oil you need to buy for a top-up in your Chery is a 10W50 fully synthetic.
