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.
ENGINE OIL  CONSUMPTION
CHANGING THE OIL AND  FILTER
Function of Engine  Oil
Engine oil has the primary function of lubricat-
ing and cooling the inside of the engine.
DOHC
V6
WARNING:
Be very careful when draining the engine oil
as it may be hot enough  to burn you!
Engine oil consumption
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:
4.5 ~ 4.0 kgf.m (1.6/2.0L)
4.5 ~ 3.5 kgf.m (2.7L)
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.
6.  Install a new oil filter in accordance with the
instructions  on the  carton  or on  the  filter
itself. Do not over-tighten.
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).
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.
