ENGINE OIL REPLENISHMENT
If the indicated oil level is at or below
the lower mark of the dipstick, oil
should be added until the level is at or
below the upper mark.
To add oil to the engine, remove the
filler cap by rotating in an counter-
clockwise direction and pour engine
oil into the engine. Before checking
the level again, allow several minutes
for the oil to drain into the sump.
Replace the oil filler cap rotating it in
a clockwise direction until tight.
The quantity of oil required to raise
the level from the minimum to maxi-
mum level is approximately 1 litre.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
Function of engine oil
Engine oil has the primary function of
lubricating and cooling the inside of
the engine.
Engine oil consumption
It is normal that an engine should
consume some engine oil in the course
of normal driving. The cause of oil
consumption in a normal engine are as
follows;
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
downwards in the cylinder. High
negative pressure generated dur-
ing engine operation sucks some
of the oil into the combustion cham-
ber.
This oil with some oil of the cylin-
der wall is burned by the high tem-
perature combustion gases during
the combustion process.
2.7L

WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking the
engine oil as it may be hot enough
to burn you.
