be required under the following conditions;
5
- When the Vehicle is New
A new engine usually consumes more oil because its
6
pistons, piston ring and cylinder walls are not yet adjusted
7
with an optimal condition.
Oil Consumption : Max. 0.8 Liter per 1,000 km

Accordingly, it is necessary for the driver to check frequently
the oil level and to replenish oil if needed. SYMC recommends

that the oil level be checked every time you refuel the vehicle
10
or you drive the long distance until the first 5,000 km.
