DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE
If the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark,
add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil:
burned by the high temperature combustion
gases during the combustion process.
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).
o
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.

3.
Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counter-
clockwise.
Add oil, then check the level again.  Do not
overfill.
Replace the cap by turning it clockwise.
2.  Open the  hood and remove the  engine oil
filler cap.
The distance between the "F" and "L" marks is
equal  to  about  1  liter(Gasoline   Engine)/1.2
liter(Diesel Engine) of oil.
3.  Slide underneath the car and loosen the oil
pan drain  plug  by turning  it counterclock-
wise 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.

the  drain  plug  using  a new  washer  and

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;

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.
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.
5.  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.
