Replacing Engine Oil
Replace the engine oil by the cycle which is
specified in BAIC’s Warranty Manual. The
service life of the engine can only be guaranteed
if it is maintained and the engine oil is replaced
in accordance with the provisions.
Engine oil replacement must be made by an
authorized BAIC dealership.
If the vehicle needs to run under harsh
conditions, or use fuels with a high sulfur
content, or often drive short distances, or run at
idle speed over long periods of time (such as a
taxi), or run in dusty regions, or frequently tows
trailers, or run in high and cold regions, then it
will be necessary to increase the frequency of
some maintenance items or shorten the regular
maintenance
The additives in the engine oil may soon make
the color of a new engine oil fade soon. This is a
normal occurrence. There is no need to replace
the engine oil ahead.
Warning
●
If you have no relevant professional
knowledge, do NOT replace the engine oil on
your own.
●
Be sure to perform maintenance after the
engine has cooled down so as to prevent
scalding by hot engine oil.
●
When untightening the engine oil drain
bolt, be sure to put the arm in a horizontal
position so as to avoid the engine oil flowing
along the arm.
●
Wash thoroughly if engine oil is splashed
onto your skin.
●
The discharged waste engine oil should be
stored in a special container and the
container must be big enough to contain all
the waste engine oil.
●
Do NOT store waste engine oil in a
container which has been used to hold foods
or in a container rather than the original one,
so as to prevent confusion and poisoning due
to ingestion by mistake.
●
Engine oil is a toxic substance. Before
handling waste engine oil, be sure to store it
in a safe place and keep it out of children’s
reach.
Caution
Do NOT add any additives into the engine oil.
This may damage the engine. Problems
resulting from the addition of lubricants are
not within the scope of the warranty.
If the vehicle is parked at temperature lower
than-35
℃
for extended period of time or
frequently travels in such regions, it is
recommended that the oil must be changed to
a grade more suitable for such regions
(remember to clean the oil pipeline while
changing the oil) in order to reduce cold-start
difficulties of the vehicle and damage to the
engine.
Tips
●
Handling waste engine oil is a type of
highly specialized work, requiring the
corresponding professional knowledge and
necessary, specialized tools. It is therefore
suggested that waste engine oil should be
handled by an authorized BAIC dealership.
●
Waste engine oil is extremely harmful to
the environment and water sources.
Therefore, do NOT dump waste engine oil
into the water pipes or onto the ground. In
addition, it is extremely expensive to treat
oils which have absorbed waste engine oil.
