Starting And Operating; New Vehicle Running-In Period; Ignition Switch Positions - Chevrolet Sail Diesel Owner's Manual

86 Driving and Operating
— Operate the engine above idle only
after normal engine oil pressure has
been established. Forcing the
turbocharger to operate before the
bearings are adequately lubricated
creates unnecessary friction.
Use only the specified engine oil
—
and observe inspection and
replacement intervals.
— At low ambient temperature, or
when the vehicle has not been used
for a long period, normal engine oil
pressure and flow is affected. Under
these conditions the engine should
be started and allowed to idle for a
few minutes before operating at
higher rpm.
