Donotremovetheradiatorcapwhen
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 precau-
tion. Do not remove the radiator
cap until the radiator is cool to the

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.
