2. 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.
For the D20DTF engine with no oil pressure switch, the engine ECU receives the low engine oil level
signal from the oil level sensor and communicates with the instrument cluster through the CAN
communication to turn on the warning lamp.

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.

Coolant reservoir
Oil filter module
Thermostat
When the engine coolant
reaches 90℃, the thermostat
starts to open (fully open at
100℃) and lets the coolant
flow to the radiator to maintain
the engine temperature.
Water pump
The water pump is driven by the engine drive belt and supplies
the coolant to each area of the engine.

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.

1. CAUTIONS
1) Standard pattern of soot accumulation
Abnormal Soot Accumulation ▶
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. -

2) 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 fuel containing high sulfur may cause the same problems.
