WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
WHEN CHECKING
WARNING
• Clean the dipstick with clean cloth so that any for-
eign materials cannot get into the engine.
• Use only Ssangyong genuine engine oil.
• The oil should not go above the upper mark on the
dipstick.
• Operating with insufficient or too much amount of
oil can damage the engine.
CAUTION
Regularly check the engine oil level and add Ssangyong
genuine engine oil if necessary.
* How to check engine oil specification
Example:
0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W 20, 30, 40, 50, 60
Summer oil viscosity
Winter oil viscosity (W: Winter)
• The numerical, for example SAE 10W, relates
to viscosity at particular temperature and the
alphabet "W" indicates the oil's suitability for
colder temperature. For summer oil viscosity,
higher numbers mean higher viscosities.

SAE VISCOSITY CLASSES
The SAE classes (viscosity) should be selected in accordance with
the average seasonal air temperature.
Applying the SAE classes exactly on the basis of the outside air tem-
peratures would necessitate frequently changing the engine oil. The
temperature limits for the SAE classes should therefore be regarded
as reference temperatures and the actual air temperature may be
higher or lower for a short period of time.
Engine
The viscosity should be selected according to outside temperature.
Do not switch to a different viscosity in the event of brief tempera-
ture fluctuations.
