Engine oil consumption

!
CAUTION:
It is normal that an engine should
consume some engine oil while nor-
mal driving. The cause of oil con-
sumption in a normal engine are as
follows;
!
Slowly pour the recommended oil
using by a funnel. Do not overfill
not to damage engine.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot. When the engine
is hot, the engine coolant is under
pressure and may erupt through the
opening if the cap is removed. You
could be seriously burned if you do
not observe this precaution. Do not
remove the radiator cap until the
radiator is cool to touch.
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 dur-
ing engine operation sucks some
of the 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.
o The engine oil consumption is
strongly effected by the viscosity
and quality of oil, engine rpm and
driving condition etc. The engine
oil is more consumed under severe
driving conditions such as high
speeds and frequent acceleration
and deceleration than normal driv-
ing condition.
