Engine Oil Dipstick
The engine oil consumption is affected by a
number of factors. The new engine will reach the
normal value of consumption after the vehicle has
run for approximately 5,000km. The engine will
consume more oil under the high-load operation.
It is necessary to carry out the regular inspection
on engine oil, for example, when adding fuel or
before starting a long-distance journey.
When inspecting the engine oil, parked the vehicle
on the level ground. Turn off the ignition switch and
wait a few minutes to allow the engine oil to flow
into the oil pan (a longer time may be needed if the
exterior temperature is rather low or the engine
has not reached the operating temperature). The
vehicle engine should not be started before the
inspection of engine oil. Pull out the dipstick and
wipe it with a piece of clean non-cottony cloth, then
fully insert the dipstick and finally pull it out again.
In case the oil level stays between the MIN and the
MAX signs at the lower end of dipstick, there is no
need to add the oil again. The hot engine oil may
surpass the above gap sign for several millimeters
due to the thermal expansion.
In case the oil level is flush with or below the MIN
sign, only add the engine oil about 1L in line with
Chery specifications to make the level stay
between the MIN and the MAX signs. See the
chapter “Capacity and Specification” for details.

Simply rotated anticlockwise and pulled, the filling
cover will be open. Do not open the filling cover
during the operation of engine.

Brake Fluid / Clutch Oil
In the event that the coolant contact
your skin or eyes, please clean the affected
parts with plenty of water and immediately
seek the medical treatment.
Empty containers of wasted engine
oil can not be thrown away along with the
home rubbish. When discarding these items,
please ask the qualified waste disposal
agency for treatment.
Do not use the engine oil additives or
engine processing agents. They are not only
unnecessary but in some cases may also
damage the engine, and this kind of damage
is not within the scope of warranty.
