Engine Oil Level
The engine oil level should be checked
with the engine at normal operating temperature and the vehicle parked upon level ground.
Prior to checking the level, the ve-
hicle should be allowed to stand forseveral minutes after the engine has been switched off to allow the oil todrain back to the sump. Withdraw the dipstick and wipe it with
a clean rag. Replace the dipstick fully and withdraw again when the oil level may be read from the stick.

G350A01A-EAT 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 in the course of normal driving. The cause of oil consumption in a normal engine are asfollows;
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 downwards in the cylinder. High negative pressure generated dur-ing engine operation sucks some of the oil into the combustion cham- ber.This oil with some oil of the cylin-der wall is burned by the high tem-perature combustion gases during the combustion process.
