4. Usage and Maintenance
Warning
●
Engine oil is a type of highly
combustible material. Be careful to add
the engine oil and do not sprinkle the
engine oil onto the scorching hot
engine parts or exhaust system piping.
●
If too much engine oil is filled, please
do not start the engine, and contact
GAC MOTOR dealer for treatment.
Otherwise, the three-way catalytic
converter may be damaged.
●
After completing the filling, the engine
oil filler cap must always be tightened,
so as to prevent the engine oil from
spilling when the engine is operating
and avoid fire.
Replacing Engine Oil
Replace the engine oil as per the intervals
specified in the Warranty Manual at GAC MOTOR
dealer.
If the car is used under severe conditions, or fuel
oil with higher sulfur content is used, or short-
distance traveling frequently occurs, or the car will
idle for a long time (e.g. taxi), or the car will travel
in high dust area, or the car will frequently travel
with drawbar trailer, or the car will be used in high
and cold area, increase the number of
maintenance times or reduce the maintenance
period of several maintenance items between
periodic maintenances.
Warning
Never replace the engine oil by yourself
unless you have relevant expertise.
●
Be sure to operate after the engine
cools down, so as to prevent scald by
high temperature engine oil.
●
To prevent engine oil from getting into
your eyes, be sure to wear goggles
when replacing the engine oil.
●
When unscrewing the oil drain plug, be
sure to place your arm horizontally to
prevent the oil from flowing along it.
●
If the engine oil splashes on the skin,
rinse it thoroughly.
●
Put the used oil into a special container
which is large enough to contain all
used oil.
●
Do not store the used oil in a food
container or any other non-original
container to avoid confusing, resulting
in poisoning.
●
As engine oil is toxic, please first put it
on a safe place to prevent children from
touching it before disposing it.
