ENGINE OIL  CONSUMPTION
Function of Engine  Oil
Engine oil has the primary function of lubricat-
ing and cooling the inside of the engine.
Engine oil consumption
F
L
It  is normal  that an  engine  should consume
some engine oil while normal driving. The cause
of oil consumption  in a normal  engine are as
follows;
o
Engine oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston
rings and cylinders.

A thin film  of oil is left  on the cylinder wall
when  a  piston moves  downwards  in  the
cylinder. High negative pressure generated
during engine operation sucks some of the
oil into the combustion chamber.
This oil with some oil of the cylinder wall is
burned by the high temperature combustion
gases during the combustion process.
The engine oil  consumption is strongly ef-
fected  by the  viscosity  and quality  of  oil,
engine rpm  and driving condition etc.  The
engine oil is more consumed under severe
driving conditions such as high speeds and
frequent acceleration and deceleration than
normal driving condition.
Before checking the oil, warm up the engine to
the normal operating temperature and be sure
your car  is parked  on level ground.  Turn the
engine off.
If the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark,
add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil:
1.  Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counter-
clockwise.
2.  Add oil, then check the  level again. Do not
overfill.
3.  Replace the cap by turning  it clockwise.
Wait a minute, then remove the dipstick, wipe it
off, fully  reinsert the  dipstick  and withdraw  it
again. Then note  the highest level the oil  has
reached on the dipstick. It  should be between
the upper ("FULL") and lower ("LOW") range.
o
The distance between the "F" and "L" marks is
equal to about 1 liter of oil.
