a short while. Take an oil level reading. The level should be on the 4/4 or 5/4 mark.
If the reading is below the 4/4 mark, top up with appropriate oil (see Suitable
Engine Oil Grade). For every 1/4 mark below 4/4 add 0.25 litre of engine oil.
WARNING Never over fill an engine with oil.
WARNING Care should be taken when draining engine oil, as it may be
very hot.
WARNING Prolonged exposure to used engine oil can cause serious skin
disorders. Avoid excessive contact with skin or use protection.
WARNING The radiator fan may operate even when the ignition is
switched off. Take care not to work near the fan until the engine has
cooled sufficiently.
Oil Filter
The Morgan Plus Six uses a replaceable oil filter element located in the middle
of the left-hand side of the engine which should always be replaced when the
engine oil is changed.
To remove the filter, unscrew the filter cover anti clockwise and carefully
withdraw from the vehicle taking care to catch any dripping oil. Install the new
filter into the housing on the side of the engine noting its correct orientation.
Remove the old seal from the filter cover and clean off any old engine oil, fit a
new seal and lightly lubricate with clean engine oil. Screw the cover on clockwise
until fully seated taking care not to over tighten.
Gearbox
The transmission system is permanently filled. The transmission oil level should
be checked by a Morgan Service Dealer during routine servicing.
Air Cleaner
The injection system fitted to this car detects the level of air drawn into the
engine, and uses this information to control the fuel level. It is most important
that the airflow is not restricted. The air cleaner should be changed every 10,000
miles, or more frequently in dusty conditions or regular town use. A Morgan
Service Dealer should change the air filter element as it is only accessible from
underneath the vehicle. When replacing, use the correct specification of element.
Spark Plugs
The spark plugs should be checked every 10,000 miles for the correct gap. The
electrode and body should be cleaned and examined for damage. If the plug
shows any sign of damage or deposits it must be replaced. When fitting new
spark plugs be sure only the correct specification is used and the gap correctly set.
Cooling System
The coolant expansion tanks and coolant systems are situated under the bonnet.
Under the left hand bonnet is the engine coolant circuit and under the right hand
bonnet is the low temperature intercooler circuit. Both coolant systems should
be filled to half way up the tank with HT-12 coolant and should be inspected only
when the engine is cool. It is essential that the engine is supplied with sufficient
water/HT-12 mixture at all times. In an engine of this type, HT-12 must be present
in the water at all times. HT-12 should be kept at a minimum of 50
%
by volume.
WARNING Only remove the coolant filler cap when the engine is cool,
otherwise the escaping steam and boiling water may cause serious
scalding and injury.
WARNING Coolant fluids are dangerous; keep out of reach of children.
Swallowing coolant may damage health resulting in death or serious
damage to the body.
