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.
