ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
Function of Engine Oil
driving  condition  etc. The  engine
oil is more consumed under severe
driving  conditions   such  as   high
speeds  and frequent  acceleration
and deceleration than normal driv-
ing condition.
The  procedure  for changing  the  oil
and filter  is as follows:
1. Park the  car on  level ground  and
set  the  parking  brake.   Start  the
engine and let it  warm up until the
needle on the coolant temperature
gauge  moves   above  the  lowest
mark. Turn the engine off and place
the gear selector lever in "P" (auto-
matic)  or   reverse  gear   (manual
transaxle). Set  the parking brake.
2. Open  the  hood  and  remove  the
engine oil filler  cap.
3. Slide underneath the car and loosen
the drain plug by turning it counter-
clockwise  with   a  wrench  of   the
proper  size. Be  sure that  a  drain
pan is in position to catch the oil as
it drains out, then remove the drain
plug.
Engine oil has the primary function of
lubricating and  cooling  the inside  of
the engine.

CHANGING  THE OIL  AND  FIL-
TER
It  is  normal  that  an  engine  should
consume some  engine oil while  nor-
mal  driving.  The  cause  of  oil  con-
sumption in  a normal  engine are  as
follows;
2
.5L
3.0L/3.5L
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.  High
negative  pressure generated  dur-
ing  engine operation  sucks some
of the 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.

WARNING:
The  engine  oil and  filter  should  be
changed at  those intervals  specified
in the maintenance  schedule in Sec-
tion  5. If  the  car  is  being driven  in
severe conditions,  more frequent  oil
and filter changes  are required.
Be very careful  when draining the
engine oil as it may be hot enough
to burn  you!
o  The   engine  oil   consumption   is
strongly  effected  by the  viscosity
and quality  of oil, engine  rpm and
