To add oil to the engine, remove the
filler cap by rotating in an counter-
clockwise direction and pour engine
oil into the engine. Before checking
the level again, allow several minutes
for the oil to drain into the sump.
Replace the oil filler cap rotating it in
a clockwise direction until tight.
The quantity of oil required to raise
the level from the minimum to maxi-
mum level is approximately 1 litre
(Petrol Engine)/1.6 litres (Diesel En-
gine).

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
o The engine oil consumption is
strongly effected by the viscosity
and quality of oil, engine rpm and
driving condition etc.
More engine oil may be consumed
under severe driving conditions
such as high speeds, frequent ac-
celeration and deceleration, com-
pared to normal driving.
Function of engine oil
Engine oil has the primary function of
lubricating and cooling the inside of
the engine.
Engine oil consumption
It is normal that an engine should
consume some engine oil in the
course of normal driving.
The causes of oil consumption in a
normal engine are as follows;
!
WARNING:
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pis-
tons, piston rings and cylinders.
A thin film of oil is left on the
cylinder wall when a piston moves
downwards in the cylinder.
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when adding the en-
gine oil as it may be hot enough to
burn you.
High negative pressure generated
during engine operation sucks some
of this oil into the combustion cham-
ber.
This oil with some oil of the cylin-
der wall is burned by the high tem-
perature combustion gases during
the combustion process.
