sume some engine oil while normal
driving.Thecauseofoilconsumptionin
a normal engine are as follows;
NOTE:

coolant should be changed by an
authorisedHyundaidealer.
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 down-
wards in the cylinder. High negative
pressure generated during engine
operation sucks some of the oil into
the combustion chamber.
This oil with some oil of the cylinder
wall is burned by the high tempera-
ture combustion gases during the
combustion process.
