Engine oil consumption
It  is normal  that an  engine  should consume
some engine oil whilst normal driving.
The  causes  of oil  consumption  in  a  normal
engine are as follows;
G030D03HP-E
o
Engine oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston
rings and cylinders.
If the indicated oil level is at or below the lower
mark of the dipstick,  oil should be added until
the level is at or below  the upper mark.
To add oil to the engine, remove the filler cap by
rotating in  an counterclockwise  direction and
pour engine oil into the engine. Before checking
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 (Petrol Engine)/1.4 litres (Diesel
Engine).
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 this oil into
the combustion chamber.
This oil with some oil of the cylinder wall is
burned by the high temperature combustion
gases during the combustion process.

o
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, frequent acceleration and decelera-
tion, compared to normal driving.

The engine oil and filter must be changed at the
time or mileage interval specified in the mainte-

der severe  or adverse conditions,  the oil and
