Hi everyone, I'm Simon.
I've want to ask a question about cars in DayZ. When the car engin lights up while you drive a car, what are the steps to do to repair the car and make that icon go away?
Thank you and may Celine Dion be with you!
About the car's condition?

You don't need oil really, last i checked you can drive just fine without it.

Hey Vile Beggar,
So it was just bad luck I suppose? I was so much carefull not to go fast and stay on second gear.

Yeah i think so man!

you need oil. 2 bottles i believe. You fill the engine with it (not the radiator. That takes lots of water).. just like irl, if no motor oil, you get the red light, and not long after that ...BOOM... you are unconscious in a burning car..
If you never put oil, and got the red light, try putting it now, and it might go away. If not, then its too late and damage might be permanent.
Keep an eye on your RPM, and stay away from the red part. You dont want to screw up your engine

Hmm, must have been fixed, before oil would not affect it at all.

Alright! So oil it is!

Are the cars now safe to drive once fixed? I heard they are still bugged and not really worth the effort.

It can be fun to drive them. But some people think it's fun to be spanked in the nut sack too, so yeah ... Your mileage may vary. I'd always go for a car ride, even if it kills me.

On day, I've found a car. I saw that it got 2 ruinned tires, I tried to remove one. Got hit pretty bad for no reason and the SFX of the rolling car starts acting up. It was untouched for 2 weeks, until it despawn.
