If you don't see any oil underneath your car when you’re parked, it doesn’t always mean you’re in the clear. Your engine may be consuming excessive amounts of oil internally when the engine is under pressure — i.e. when it’s running and driving. So, if you don’t see any puddles, but still suspect a leak, try troubleshooting with these steps:

Despite what common oil myths may claim, your oil light doesn’t only turn on when you have low oil. Another potential reason for an illuminated check oil light is contaminated oil. If too much fuel or moisture accumulates in the oil, it can thin the oil’s viscosity and lower the oil pressure enough that the sensor turns on the warning light.

Don't let your engine suffer! Learn what your engine oil filter does, how often you need to replace it, and what might happen if you don’t change it.

Engine oil isn't meant to last forever; even though you don't burn through it as you do with gas, all combustion engines — especially those that aren’t exactly “low mileage” — consume some oil. And with enough time, it’s possible to burn enough for your oil light to come on.

In line with its focus to provide safer, more reliable tools that can stop threats, Axon has an ongoing commitment to continually improve its TASER energy weapons. In 2020, the company accelerated investments in advancing less-lethal technology to better serve public safety and communities. TASER 10 represents a giant leap in innovation, with several step-function improvements compared to previous versions. Key new advancements include:

TASER 10 is a giant leap toward Axon's collective moonshot effort to cut gun-related deaths between police and the public by 50% in 10 years. Axon recognizes that this is a joint effort that involves industry-leading partners, community members and advocates, law enforcement and government entities. The goal is to establish a three-pronged approach with a series of solutions and advancements across technology, training and building greater trust through data and insights that can inform progress and ultimately save lives. Through a shared commitment to research, dialogue, innovation and implementation, Axon, alongside its partners, believes all involved can develop responsible, evidence-based solutions to cut gun-related deaths — and ultimately become greater than the sum of our parts to achieve our moonshot goal.

While almost every vehicle has a system for monitoring oil pressure, they don’t all have oil pressure gauges on their dashboards. Fortunately, checking your oil level is simple! Start by consulting your owner's manual. It'll guide you through the specifics of the following steps and tell you where to look for various pieces and parts.

"As technology leaders in public safety, we have a responsibility to identify every possible way we can give officers better tools to reduce officer-involved shootings," said Axon CEO Rick Smith, who founded the company 30 years ago with a mission to leverage technology to protect life and obsolete the bullet. "We have worked tirelessly to develop TASER 10 because we know that public safety needs better ways to stop imminent threats and protect their communities and themselves without lethal force. TASER 10 ushers in the potential for a less-lethal future, and we are confident it will be a key factor in helping to cut gun-related deaths between police and the public by 50% in the next 10 years."

Axon (Nasdaq: AXON), the global public safety technology leader, today announced that, following a competitive procurement process, it has been...

The TASER 10 provides more opportunities than other less-lethal options to immediately stop a threat without needing to reload. The TASER 10 is a two-probe-connect energy weapon. The first trigger pull discharges a single probe without electrical output and the second trigger pull discharges a second probe to create neuromuscular incapacitation (NMI). The device provides additional opportunities to obtain effective NMI, with the subsequent trigger pulls if the previous probes did not have proper attainment.

The oil light on your dashboard isn’t always from low, leaking, or contaminated oil. If all of the following statements are true, you may have a faulty oil pressure sensor or pump:

Axon also worked with several public safety agencies to evaluate TASER 10 prior to launch. This enabled Axon to gather data and feedback directly from trusted partners and translate those findings to best practices for future use with agencies and forces around the world.

TASER 10's additional capabilities make it more than just an energy weapon. It integrates with the Axon suite of products including:

Axon Cloud & Services revenue grows 36% to $203 million Annual recurring revenue grows 36% to $885 million Net income of $67 million supports...

Before we go any further, it’s important to note that not all oil warning lights are created equal. One oil light looks like a dipping oil can—or, for some, a dripping genie lamp. The other likely has a text blurb that says “Change Oil Soon” or something similar.

Today, we know that ineffective TASER deployments can result in an escalation to lethal force and that over 80% of officer-involved shootings occur within a 40-foot range. TASER 10 provides almost double the range of our previous energy weapons, with a maximum distance to reach a subject of 45 feet (13.7 meters), providing more time and space to de-escalate and resolve conflicts.

Your oil pressure sensor is a small plug-like sensor that monitors your vehicle's oil pressure and notifies you if it drops below a certain limit. But like everything else in your car, it can wear out, which could send faulty signals that trigger your oil light.

"The key is to find common ground for both community members and public servants. It's not enough to be safe, we also need people to feel safe in their communities and where they serve. This is why we enlisted feedback from both the community and public safety in the design of the TASER 10," said Regina Holloway, Vice President of Global Strategic Community Impact at Axon. "The result is an energy weapon that can provide up to 10 opportunities to protect a life. At the end of the day, we know that community members and officers want to make it home safe. By improving the effectiveness of TASER technology, we can help make sure that happens."

Firestone Tip: If you don’t change your oil or oil filter, you may still technically have the correct amount of oil in your car, but coagulated or debris-filled oil could prevent it from circulating properly, triggering your oil light.

A bad oil pump doesn’t effectively circulate oil to your engine's moving parts, which can snowball into more significant issues. While there isn’t a DIY-friendly way to tell if your oil pump has gone out, there are some key symptoms to watch out for:

When you see a little light illuminate on your vehicle's dashboard, it usually means one thing—something's not right! Although these lights rarely appear, they can be scary when they do. But before you panic, learn what the oil light on your car means and why it might have illuminated.

As with all previous TASER energy weapons, Axon performed multi-phase testing of the TASER 10 to ensure the weapon meets expectations for both safety and effectiveness. This included independent cardiac safety testing conducted at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, as well as physiologic and metabolic testing, and probe wound profile testing conducted under the direction of Axon's medical director and Science and Medical Advisory Board (SMAB). All tests confirmed that the TASER 10 has a safety profile comparable to or better than previous TASER energy weapons. Today, TASER energy weapons are the most studied use-of-force tool available to law enforcement. Learn more about the safety of TASER energy weapons here.

TASER 10 is the first key technology advancement for Axon following the announcement of its moonshot goal to cut gun-related deaths between police and the public by 50% in 10 years

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon Enterprise Inc., ("Axon") (NASDAQ: AXON), the global public safety technology leader, today announced the launch of the TASER 10 energy weapon. TASER 10 is the most sophisticated, accurate and effective TASER energy weapon to date. TASER 10 also marks the first key innovation unveiled by Axon following a recent announcement of a moonshot goal to cut gun-related deaths between police and the public by 50% in the next decade. TASER 10 is just one part of this larger movement to make change at a faster pace in public safety.

Firestone Tip: If oil is dripping onto hot components like exhaust manifolds, it can result in a burnt smell, smoke coming from the engine, or potentially even start a fire. However, these symptoms might not always show up. If you think you have a leak, but can’t identify the source, bring your car into a Firestone Complete Auto Care service center for a complete vehicle inspection.

You can check for signs of oil contamination the same way you check your oil levels—by examining the oil on the dipstick. If your oil looks milky, has a funny smell, or is thick and sludgy to the touch, have a professional take a look.

Axon is the technology leader in global public safety. Our Moonshot goal in the US is to cut gun-related deaths between police and the public by 50% before 2033. Axon is building the public safety operating system of the future by integrating a suite of hardware devices and cloud software solutions that lead modern policing, defense and security. Axon's suite includes TASER energy devices, body-worn cameras, in-car cameras, cloud-hosted digital evidence management solutions, productivity software and real-time operations capabilities. Axon's growing global customer base includes first responders across international, federal, state and local law enforcement, fire, corrections and emergency medical services, as well as the justice sector, commercial enterprises and consumers.

During the design phase of the TASER 10, Axon worked directly with law enforcement, community members and Axon's Ethics and Equity Advisory Council (EEAC), to obtain feedback that informed these new capabilities, taking ideas from real-life experiences into development.

Some engines, even when new, consume small amounts of oil during normal operation. If your oil light is on but you recently had your oil changed, you might have a leak. To check for oil leaks, leave your car parked on a level surface for a few hours and inspect the ground underneath it for puddles.

Leveraging smart technology, TASER 10 avoids delivering more charge than necessary. Regardless of how many probes make a connection, the device will only deliver current to the best four connections. Additionally, the TASER 10 has a reduced voltage of approximately 1,000 volts, compared with the previous 50,000 volts with the TASER 7.

Can you mix synthetic oil with regular oil? What about different oil brands or weights? Learn how mixing oils affects them and what it can mean for your engine.

Firestone Tip: If your oil light comes on when braking, this is another indicator that your oil may be low. After all, oil is a liquid, so if your pan isn't full, there’s room for oil to slosh around in your oil pan and away from the oil pickup when you brake or corner. Thank you, inertia!

"As public servants, our goal is never to bring harm to anyone in a difficult situation," said Dennis Lemma, Sheriff at the Seminole County Sheriff's Office in Sanford, Fla., and a key agency in Axon's TASER 10 evaluation program. "The TASER 10 adds a new level of confidence for our deputies when intervention is required to ensure that they can de-escalate with accuracy and enhanced safety. I believe that the TASER 10 will play a key role in reducing situations where our deputies may otherwise have to resort to lethal options, and we believe that the TASER 10 will serve as a key tool to continue to keep our communities safe."
