2. FUNCTIONS OF LUBRICATION
1) Lubrication
It creates a viscous barrier between moving parts that reduces friction, which means less heat and
longer life for those parts. As a lubricant, oil must maintain a protective film to prevent metal-to-metal
contact. It must be fluid enough to allow easy starting and to circulate quickly through the engine, yet
remain thick enough at higher operating temperatures and speeds to provide adequate lubrication.
2) Cooling
Combustion heat and friction energy must be removed from the engine in order to prevent its
overheating. Most of heat energy is taken by the engine oil.
Clean oil passages, proper viscosity and low contamination provide sufficient flow rate of the engine oil
and effective cooling.
3) Sealing
It helps to seal the space between the pistons and the cylinder walls so that compression is more
effective and power is not lost during combustion.
4) Anti-corrosion
As a corrosion inhibitor, oil coats internal engine parts to prevent surface rust on the inside of the engine
which can be caused by blow-by products and water formed in combustion. It must also be capable of
neutralizing the acids that are formed by combustion blow-by and oil oxidation at high temperatures.
5) Cleaning
The small particles of dirt or other contaminants are suspended in oil and carried away to be filtered out.
As a detergent, engine oil must be able to gather and suspend dirt and other contaminants until the oil
can leave them as it passes through the filter and returns to the internal engine environment.

1) Coolant Level Check
Park the vehicle on level ground and apply the parking brake. Stop the engine and wait until it is
cooled down.
The coolant level should be between the MAX and MIN mark on the coolant reservoir.1.
2.
Scalding hot coolant and steam could be blown out under pressure, which could cause serious
injury. Never remove the coolant reservoir cap when the engine and radiator are hot.
Avoid any direct contact of the coolant to the painted body of the vehicle. -
-

2) Leak Test
Release the pressure in the system by
loosening the pressure cap of the coolant
reservoir slightly. Then, remove the pressure
cap completely. 1.
Never open the cap until the coolant
prevent any burn.
Add the coolant so that the coolant level is
between MAX and MIN mark on the coolant
auxiliary tank.
Connect the tester to the tank filler and apply
pressure (1.4 bar).
Check all the coolant hoses, pipes and
connections for leaks when the pressure of
the tester drops, and replace or tighten, if
necessary. 2.

3) Thermostat
Immerse the thermostat into the water. Heat the
water and check the valve opening temperature.

3. CAUTIONS
If 100% of anti-freeze is added, the water pump vane can be damaged and thermal conductivity
can be decreased resulting in poor circulation in the cooling system which leads to overheated
engine.
Use of non-recommended coolant could cause damage to the cooling system and overheating of
the engine.
Opening the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is running or hot can cause burns by hot steam
or water.
To open the coolant reservoir cap, wrap the cap with a wet towel or thick cloth after the engine is
cooled down sufficiently.
If cool water is added to the heated engine, the engine or radiator can be deformed.
The anti-freeze in the coolant can damage the painted surface, so avoid the contact of the coolant
to the painted body.
The anti-freeze and water should be mixed in proper mixture ratio. Never add only water when
adding coolant.
If the anti-freeze content is too low, the coolant can be frozen while the engine can be overheated if
anti-freeze content is too high. -

Water pump
The water pump is driven by the engine drive belt and supplies
the coolant to each area of the engine.
Coolant reservoir
Long life coolant is used.
Thermostat
When the engine coolant
starts to open (fully open at
flow to the radiator to maintain
the engine temperature.

Electric fan
Circulates the fresh air forcibly to exchange heat
with the radiator core fin.
Radiator
Releases heat through fins and cools down the hot
coolant as the coolant passes through the tube of the
radiator core.
Coolant temperature sensor
Measures the coolant
temperature and sends the
result to the engine ECU.
