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 while nor-
mal driving. The cause of oil consump-
tion 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 down-
wards in the cylinder. High negative
pressure generated during engine
operation sucks some of the oil into
the combustion chamber.
This oil with some oil of the cylinder
wall is burned by the high tempera-
ture combustion gases during the
combustion process.
NOTE:
o It is recommended that the engine
oil and filter should be changed
by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Always dispose of used engine oil
in an environmentally acceptable
manner. It is suggested that it be
placed in a sealed container and
taken to a service station for maybe
reclaimation. Do not pour the oil
on the ground or put it into the
household trash.
!
WARNING:
Used motor oil may cause irritation
or cancer of the skin if left in contact
with the skin for prolonged periods
of time. Wash your hands thoroughly
with soap and warm water as soon as
possible after handling used oil.
!
If the oil level is close to or below the "L"
mark, add oil until it reaches the "F"
mark. To add oil:
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning
it counterclockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again.
Do not overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clock-
wise.
The distance between the "F" and "L"
marks is equal to about 1 liter(Gasoline
Engine)/1.5 liter(Diesel Engine) of oil.
WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the radia-
tor hose when adding the engine oil
as it may be hot enough to burn you.
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil
by using a funnel. Do not overfill so
as not to damage engine.
