3. Slide underneath the car and loosen the
drain plug by turning it counterclockwise
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.

Function of Engine Oil
Engine oil has the primary function of lubricat-
ing and cooling the inside of the engine.

Engine oil consumption
WARNING:
Be very careful when draining the engine oil
as it may be hot enough to burn you!
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;
4. When the oil has stopped draining, replace
the drain plug using a new washer and
retighten by turning it clockwise.

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.
Tightening torque:
The engine oil and filter should be changed at
those intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule in Section 5. If the car is being driven
in severe conditions, more frequent oil and filter
changes are required.

Remove the oil filter by turning it counter-
clockwise with a oil filter wrench of the
proper size. A certain amount of oil will
come out when you remove the filter. So be
sure to have your drain pan in place under-
neath it.
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. More
engine oil may be consumed under severe
driving conditions such as high speeds, fre-
quent acceleration and deceleration, com-
pared to normal driving condition.
The procedure for changing the oil and filter is
as follows:
o
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" (automatic) or reverse
gear (manual transaxle).
6. Install a new oil filter in accordance with the
instructions on the carton or on the filter
itself. Do not over-tighten.
Tightening torque: 1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m.
Be sure that the mounting surface on the
engine is clean and that the old gasket is
removed completely. Lubricate the new gas-
ket on the filter with clean engine oil before
installation.
2.
Open the hood and remove the engine oil
filler cap.
