Correct answer

  • BAumenta la fricción y puede producirse avería.Friction increases and a breakdown can occur.
Explanation

When the engine oil level is too low, the internal parts are not properly lubricated. This increases friction between the parts, which causes more wear and overheating and can end in a serious engine breakdown.
