The engine oil level should be checked with the engine at normal operating temperature and the vehicle parkedupon level ground. If the indicated oil level is at or below the lower mark of the dipstick, oil should be added until the level is at orbelow the upper mark.
WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking the engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you. Prior to checking the level, the vehicle
should be allowed to stand for severalminutes after the engine has been switched off to allow the oil to drain back to the sump.
Withdraw the dipstick and wipe it with
a clean rag. Replace the dipstick fullyand withdraw again when the oil levelmay be read from the stick. Normal oil level is indicated when the oil is present between the two marks on the stick. Itis not necessary to add oil if the level is above the lower mark and in any case, oil must not be added to thedegree that the level exceeds the up- per mark. Replace the dipstick fully after checking the level.

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 duringengine 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 thecombustion process.
To add oil to the engine, remove the
filler cap by rotating in an counter-clockwise direction and pour engine oil into the engine. Before checking the level again, allow several minutes forthe oil to drain into the sump. Replace the oil filler cap rotating it in a clock- wise direction until tight.
The quantity of oil required to raise the
level from the minimum to maximumlevel is approximately 1 litre.
The distance between the "F" and "L"
marks is equal to about 1 liter(Petrol Engine)/1.2 liter(Diesel Engine) of oil.
!
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil into a funnel. Do not overfill toprevent engine to damage.!
WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the radiator hose when checking the engine oil as it may be hot enoughto burn you. o The engine oil consumption is
strongly effected by the viscosityand quality of oil, engine rpm and driving condition etc. More engine oil may be consumed under severe driving conditions such as high speeds, frequent accelera- tion and deceleration, compared tonormal driving.

CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE OIL
SG100A1-E
MANUAL TRANSAXLE LUBRI-CANT
The manual transaxle lubricant must
be checked and or changed at the intervals specified in the maintenanceschedule. Only those lubricants speci- fied should be used in order to prevent gear shifting difficulties or transaxledamage. WARNING:
The transaxle lubricant level should only be checked when the engine is cold to preclude the possibility ofpersonal injury by contact with hot components. Recommended Oil Use only HYUNDAI GENUINE PARTS
MTF 75W/85 (API GL-4) in the manual transaxle. Transaxle Lubricant Level Checking Ensure that the vehicle is parked on level ground with the parking brakefirmly applied and the engine cool. Remove the level plug from the transaxle when lubricant should beginto drip from the level hole. If the level is low and no lubricant is seen to drip, add the required quantity of lubricantand replace the plug.
