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 clock-
wise direction until tight.

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 accelera-
tion and deceleration, compared to
normal driving.
Engine oil has the primary function of
lubricating and  cooling  the inside  of
the engine.
Engine oil consumption
The quantity of oil required to raise the
level from the  minimum to maximum
level is approximately 1  litre.
It  is  normal  that  an  engine  should
consume some engine oil in the course
of  normal  driving. The  cause  of  oil
consumption in a normal engine are as
follows;
The distance between the "F" and "L"
marks is equal  to about 1 liter(Petrol
Engine)/1.2 liter(Diesel Engine) of oil.
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 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.
!
CAUTION:
Slowly pour  the recommended oil
into  a  funnel.  Do   not  overfill  to
prevent engine to damage.
!
WARNING:
Be  very  careful not  to  touch  the
radiator  hose when  checking  the
engine oil as it may be hot enough
to burn you.
