OWNER MAINTENANCE
6-6 the level again, allow several minutes for the oil to drain into the sump. Replace the oil fillercap rotating it in a clockwise direction untiltight. The quantity of oil required to raise the level from the minimum to maximum level is approx-imately 1 litre. The distance between the "F" and "L" marks is equal to about 1 liter(Gasoline Engine)/1.2liter(Diesel Engine) of oil.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly
effected by the viscosity and quality of oil,engine rpm and driving condition etc. The engine oil is more consumed under severe driving conditions such as highspeeds and frequent acceleration and de-celeration than normal driving condition.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION Function of engine oil
Engine oil has the primary function of lubricat-
ing and cooling the inside of the engine. Engine oil consumption
It is normal that an engine should consume
some engine oil while normal driving. The cause of oil consumption in a normal engine are asfollows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wallwhen a piston moves downwards in thecylinder. High negative pressure generatedduring engine operation sucks some of theoil into the combustion chamber. This oil with some oil of the cylinder wall is burned by the high temperature combustiongases during the combustion process. SG040A1-E

REPLACEMENT
SSA6040A
Oil filler cap
Drain plug
Oil filter The engine oil and filter must be changed at
the time or mileage interval specified in the maintenance schedule. If the vehicle is oper-ated under severe or adverse conditions, theoil and filter must be replaced more frequently.
To replace the oil and filter, proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Ensure that the engine is at normal operat- ing temperature and park the vehicle on level ground with the parking brake se-curely applied and the engine turned off.
2. Open the bonnet and remove the oil filler cap.
3. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the displaced oil and remove the drain plugfrom the sump.
CAUTION: The oil being drained from the engine will
be hot. Care should be exercised to pre- vent scalding.
