FUNCTION OF ENGINE OIL
Engine oil's major function is to lubricate and cool the parts
inside of the engine, which enables engine to work properly.
Consumption of Engine Oil
The consumption of engine oil is depending on the viscos-
ity and quality of the oil, and the driving habit. More oil may
be required under the following conditions;
- When the Vehicle is New
A new engine usually consumes more oil because its
pistons, piston ring and cylinder walls are not yet adjusted
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
or you drive the long distance until the first 5,000 km.
- When driving at High Engine Speeds
As long as you keep the followings with sufficient care in your
first running the vehicle, it will guarantee you to get excellent
and comfortable performance for a long with your vehicle.
• Remember to check the engine oil level and shorten the
cycle to refuel the engine oil under severe driving
conditions.
• Avoid subjecting to engine to heavy loads by driving at full
throttle, especially be careful when the outside tempera-
ture remains below freezing for the first 1,000 km.
• Do not use the trailing in the first 1,000 km driving
