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 counterclock-
wise 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 direc-
tion until tight.
The quantity of oil required to raise the
level from the minimum to maximum
level is approximately 1.2 litre.ZG030E1-E
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 con-
sume some engine oil while 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 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.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly
effected by the viscosity and quality
of oil, engine rpm and driving condi-
tion etc.

ENGINE COOLANT CHECKING
AND REPLACING
SG050B1-E
Coolant recommendations WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot, since the system is
pressurized and coolant may be
ejected from the radiator resulting in
scalding.
3. Prepare a suitable receptacle to col-
lect the displaced oil and remove the
drain plug from the sump.
4. When the oil has drained from the sump, replace the drain plug using a
new washer ensuring that the plug is
not over tightened.
Tightening torque is: 3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m
5. Remove the oil filter by rotating coun- terclockwise, using a proprietary oil
filter removal tool if necessary. Note
that the oil filter will contain approxi-
mately 0.5 litres of oil and this should
be collected in a suitable receptacle.
6. Install a new oil filter having smeared the sealing ring with clean oil and
rotating clockwise until the filter con-
tacts the mounting and then a further
one half turn. Do not over-tighten CAUTION:
The oil being drained from the en-
gine will be hot. Care should be
exercised to prevent scalding.
! Tightening torque:
Petrol -
1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m
Diesel(RHD) - 2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m
7. Pour the specified quantity of the recommended oil into the engine and
replace the filler cap. Start the en-
gine and ensure that no oil leaks
exist. Turn off the engine and after a
couple minutes, recheck the oil level.
WARNING:
Prolonged and repeated contact with
used engine oils may result in seri-
ous skin disorders including derma-
titis and cancer. Avoid contact with
skin as far as possible and always
wash thoroughly after any contact.
Keep used oils out of reach of chil-
dren. It is illegal to pollute drains,
water courses and soil. Use only
authorized waste collection facili-
ties including civic amenity sites
and garages for the disposal of used
oil and oil filters. If in doubt, contact
the local authority for disposal in-
structions.

SPARKING PLUG REPLACE-
MENT
G060A01L
0.039 ~ 0.043 in.
(1.0 ~ 1.1 mm )
This operation should only be performed
when the engine is cold.
1. Remove the centre cover from the engine rocker cover.
2. Remove plug lead from the sparking plug to be replaced, pulling the lead
by the rubber cap. (Pulling the lead
may damage the carbon conductor).
3. Clean around the base of the plug to be removed, and install the plug
socket ensuring that the ceramic
insulator does not become damaged.
Turn the socket counterclockwise to
remove the plug. CAUTION:
Sparking plugs must only be cleaned
using purpose designed equipment.
Wire brushing may damage the cen-
tre electrodein-sulator causing mis-
firing to occur. Only the correct grade
of sparking plug should be used.
Use of an incorrect grade may result
in serious engine damage.
Prior to installing a sparking plug, the
gap between the centre and outer elec-
trodes must be checked and adjusted
as necessary.
Adjustment is facilitated by bending the
outer electrode towards or away from
the centre electrode. Under no circum-
stances should attempts be made to
adjust the position of the centre elec-
trode.
4. Insert the sparking plug into the cyl- inder head and screw by the wrench
and until the plug contacts the seat-
ing area. Tighten the plug with the
socket by a further 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn
only. 5. Replace the plug lead ensuring that
the cap is pushed firmly into place.
Confirm that the cap is correctly
seated by lightly pulling upon it.
NOTE:
When replacing the spark plug, al-
ways use the genuine parts recom-
mended.
