pressure  and  may  erupt  through
the opening if the  cap is removed.

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.
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.
