F3DM Owner’s Manual

chamber together with the intake 
air and participates in combustion. 
High  temperature  exhaust  gas  may 
also combust the engine oil used to 
lubricate the exhaust valve stems.
Consumption of engine oil depends 
on its viscosity and quality and actual 
vehicle conditions. 
High  speed  driving  and  frequent 
acceleration/deceleration at HEV mode 
will increase the consumption of engine 
oil. 
A new engine may consume more 
engine oil as its pistons, piston rings 
and cylinder walls have not become 
conditioned.

Consumption of Engine Oil 
Please be noted that the oil may 
become diluted and make it difficult to 
judge the true level accurately.
.  

For example, if a vehicle is used for 
repeated short trips, and consumes 
a normal amount of oil, the dipstick 
may not show any drop in the oil level 
at all, even after 1000 km or more. 
This is because the oil is gradually 
becoming diluted with fuel or moisture, 
making it appears that the oil level has 
not changed. The diluting ingredients 
evaporate out when the vehicle is 
then driven at high speeds, as on an 
expressway, making it appear that oil 
is excessively consumed after driving 
at high speeds.

Significance of Checking Engine Oil 
Level
One of the key points of vehicle 
maintenance is to keep the engine oil 
at optimum level, so that oil function 
will not be impaired. In one word, it is 
important to check the engine oil level 

regularly.  BYD recommend that the 
engine oil level should be checked 
every time you refuel the car.

NOTICE

Failure to check oil level regularly 
could result in serious engine 
trouble due to insufficient oil.

For details on checking engine oil 
level, please refer to “Check Engine Oil 
Level” in Section 7-2.
