3. MAINTENANCE
1) Level Check
Park the vehicle on a level ground and apply the parking brake. Stop the engine and wait more than 5
minutes.
Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth. Reinsert it all the way.
Pull out it again and check the oil level.
The oil level should be between the maximum (Max) mark and minimum (Min) mark on the oil dipstick.
Oil should be replenished before the level goes below the minimum mark. -
-
-
Operating vehicle with insufficient amount of oil can damage the engine. Make sure the
engine oil level is correct and add oil if necessary.
2) Replenishment
If the level gets to the lower point, open the filler cap on top of the cylinder block and add the genuine oil
without exceeding the level of the upper mark.
Recheck the oil level after 5 minutes.
Regularly check the engine oil level and add Ssangyong genuine engine oil if necessary.
Clean the dipstick with clean cloth so that any foreign materials cannot get into the engine.
The oil should not go above the upper mark on the dipstick.
The engine oil may be consumed more if the engine is new. -

1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1) Overview
The lubrication system supplies oil to each lubrication section to prevent friction and wear and to remove
heat from the friction part. As the engine runs, frictional heat is generated on each lubrication section. If
this condition persists, the bearing can be burned and stuck.
In other words, it creates an oil film on each sliding surface to convert solid friction to liquid friction in
order to minimize wear and prevent temperature increasing on the friction part.

3. LUBRICATION
1)Anti-friction
The oil makes a thin film on the surface of sliding components to reduce the wear due to friction.
2)Cooling
The friction makes the heat on the components. The oil absorbs the heat and radiates it or cools it down.
3) Sealing
The piston ring on the piston seals the cylinder. The oil gets into the clearance in piston ring to secure
the sealing for compression pressure and combustion gas.
4) Anti-corrosion
The oil generates the thin film on the surface of components to prevent the material from contacting with
air, water and corrosive gas.
5) Cleaning
The oil transfers the residue of material due to friction, oxidized substance, and carbonized substance
while circulating in the engine by oil pump.

Disconnect the cable connected to the B
terminal on the alternator. Connect one end
of the ammeter to the B terminal and the
other end to the cable connected to the B
terminal.
Measure the maximum output value.
(Maintain the engine speed between 2,500
and 3,000 rpm.)
(Turn the headlamp and all the electrical
switches on.) 1.
2.Pass: If the measured current is 45 A
or higher.
Fail: If the measured current is less
than 45 A.
Check the current of the B terminal. -
-
-
Move the gear selector lever to the
neutral position.
Maintain the engine speed at 2,500 rpm
with the vehicle unloaded.
(Turn all the electrical switches off.) 1.
2.Open circuit: If the measured
current is 5 A or higher. -
Disconnect the negative cable from the
battery.
Remove the B terminal and turn off the
ignition switch.
Measure the resistance between the L and F
terminals with an ohmmeter. 1.
2.
3.Pass: If the measured resistance is
Faulty rotor coil or slip ring: If the
measured resistance is less than 3
-
-
Connect the B terminal wiring.
Measure the voltage with the engine running. 1.
2.Specification: 12.5 V to 14.5 V
Faulty IC regulator or field coil: If
the measured voltage is 14.5 V or
higher. -
-
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Connect the negative cable again after connecting the ammeter. -

2. CAUTIONS
Standard pattern of soot accumulation
(1) Abnormal Soot Accumulation(2) Normal Soot Combustion
Cautions to protect the catalyst filter
Use the designated fuel only.
Observe the recommended service intervals of engine oil.
Check the engine oil level frequently and add if necessary.
Do not idle the vehicle unnecessarily.
Do not turn off the engine while the vehicle is running.
Do not shift the gear selector lever to neutral when going downhill.
Do not use improper engine oil or fuel additives.
Do not drive for a long time when the warning lamp is illuminated.
Make sure no flammable material, such as dry grass or tissue paper, contacts with the catalyst filter
while the vehicle is parked.
For the vehicles used in urban traffic, driving on the expressways for more than 1 hour at least once
per week is needed so that the PM inside CDPF isn't collected to one side only. -

8. CAUTIONS
1) Designated Engine Oil for CDPF (Low Ash Oil)
Need to use the designated engine oil for CDPF 1.
The smoke from the vehicle may generate the particle material in the ambient air. CDPF is the
device to reduce the smoke by collecting and recycling it. To ensure the performance of CDPF,
the designated engine oil should be used.
The smoke including combusted sulfur in fuel cannot be recycled in CDPF. This smoke
generates the ash, resulting in clogging the filter. -
-
Advantages when using the designated engine oil for CDPF 2.
Reduces the amount of ash
Improves the fuel economy and reduces the CO2
Increases the life span of engine oil
Available for all engines (diesel and gasoline) -
-
-
-
Problems when using non-designated engine oil for CDPF 3.
Decreases the life span of engine oil due to accumulated ash in DPF (around 30%)
Decreases the fuel economy due to friction resistance, exhaust gas resistance and frequent
recycling process of DPF -
-
The fule containing high sulfur may cause the same problems.
2) Do Not Use the Fuel Containing High Sulfur
Producing white smoke during recycling 1.
The sulfur in exhaust gas is changed to sulfate gas during exhaust process. This sulfate gas is
shown as white smoke. -
Producing odor during recycling 2.
The sulfur after oxidation may produce the odor. -
Accumulation of ash 3.
The sulfur accumulated in DPF cannot be recycled. It reduces the life span of DPF. -
3) White Smoke
The white smoke can be generated when the exhaust gas is recycled in DPF. There are two reasons as
below.
Saturated vapor
Sulfate 1.
