Correct answer

  • APor el indicador de presión, que estará apagado.By the oil pressure warning light, which will be off.

The oil pressure warning light comes on on the dashboard when the pressure is too low and so the lubrication is not correct. As long as there is no lubrication problem, this light stays off.
