Engine Oil Dipstick
The engine oil consumption is affected by
many factors. A new engine reaches the
normal operating specification only after
traveling approx. 5,000km. M ore oil might
be consumed when the engine operates
with high load.
Regularly checking the engine oil is
required, e.g. when refueling or before a
long-distance journey.
Stop the vehicle on a level ground before
checking the engine oil. Turn off the
ignition switch and wait for several
minutes in order to let the oil flow into the
oil sump (it may take longer time when the
out side temperature is low or the normal
working temperature of engine is still
unavailable). DO NOT start the engine at
cold state before checking engine oil.
Draw out the oil dipstick and clean it with
flannelette-free cloth. Carefully insert it
and draw out again.
If the oil level is between M IN and MAX
marks on the end of dipstick, DO NOT
refill oil. Hot oil may exceed the M AX
mark several millimeters due to thermal
expansion.
If the oil level is at or lower than the MIN
mark, please refill engine oil that
conforms to Chery’s specifications, to the
position between M IN and M AX marks
only. For details, see the chapter “Capacity
and Specification”.
Engine Oil Filler Cap
Turn the filler cap counterclockwise and
pull out to open it. DO NOT open the filler
cap as the engine is running.
Turn the filler cap clockwise until a click
is heard, which means the filler cap
closed.
Empty oil container must not be
thrown into the household waste. Please
use local qua lified waste disposal facilities
to dispose these items.
Please DO NOT use the oil
additives or engine treating
compound. It is not only
unnecessary, but also damages the
engine in certain cases, without the
warranty.
