To add oil  to the engine, remove the
filler  cap  by rotating  in  an  counter-
clockwise 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 approximately  1  litre (Petrol
Engine)/1.4 litres (Diesel Engine).

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
Function of engine oil
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 ac-
celeration  and deceleration,  com-
pared to normal  driving.
Engine oil has the primary function of
lubricating and  cooling  the inside  of
the engine.
Engine oil consumption
It  is  normal  that  an  engine  should
consume some engine oil  whilst nor-
mal driving.
The  causes of  oil consumption  in  a
normal engine are  as follows;
!
o  Engine oil is  used to lubricate pis-
tons, 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 this oil into the combustion cham-
ber.
WARNING:
Be  very  careful not  to  touch  the
radiator hose when adding the en-
gine oil as it may be hot enough to
burn you.
This oil  with some oil  of the cylin-
der wall is burned by the high tem-
perature combustion gases  during
the combustion  process.
