Why should you have a bottle of engine oil in the car?

It's recommended to have a bottle of engine oil in your car for several reasons. First, the engine may leak oil while driving, or the oil level may become too low. In this case, there's a risk of engine damage if you don't act quickly. Having a bottle of engine oil with you allows you to quickly and easily top up the oil and thus prevent major damage.

Secondly, it can be important to have a bottle or canister of engine oil in your car in case of an accident or breakdown. If you want to help other drivers or road users who are in a similar situation and urgently need engine oil, you can support them. In such a situation, it can be the deciding factor in being able to provide help.

Another useful application of a bottle of oil is when planning a long journey or trip, especially if it takes place in remote or rural areas. In such cases, it can be difficult to find a workshop, petrol station, or dealer that can provide the required oil. Therefore, carrying z.B. a small 1 liter oil bottle in the car can be a proactive measure that can be very helpful in certain situations.
