OWNER MAINTENANCE
the level again, allow several minutes for the
oil to drain into the sump. Replace the oil filler
cap rotating it in a clockwise direction until
tight.
The quantity of oil required to raise the level
from the minimum to maximum level is approx-
imately 1 litre.
o
The engine oil consumption is strongly
effected 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, frequent acceleration and decel-
eration, compared to normal driving.

The distance between the "F" and "L" marks
is equal to about 1 liter(Gasoline Engine)/1.2
liter(Diesel Engine) of oil.

The engine oil and filter must be changed at
the time or mileage interval specified in the
maintenance schedule. If the vehicle is oper-
ated under severe or adverse conditions, the
oil and filter must be replaced more frequently.
To replace the oil and filter, proceed as fol-

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
Gasoline engine
Function of engine oil
Engine oil has the primary function of lubricat-
ing and cooling the inside of the engine.
Oil filler cap
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;
1.
Ensure that the engine is at normal operat-
ing temperature and park the vehicle on
level ground with the parking brake se-
curely applied and the engine turned off.
Open the bonnet and remove the oil filler
cap.
Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the
displaced oil and remove the drain plug
from the sump.

o
Engine oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston
rings and cylinders.
2.
3.
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.
CAUTION:
This oil with some oil of the cylinder wall is
burned by the high temperature combustion
gases during the combustion process.
The oil being drained from the engine will
be hot. Care should be exercised to pre-
vent scalding.
