Lubricant Oil
The lubricant oil is very important for a good conservation of the inner components of the engine. Lubricant oil
contaminated with sand, soil, dust, water or fuel cause problems to the engine.
Check the appearance of the engine lubricant oil. A dark coloration and low viscosity could mean presence of fuel in
the lubricant oil. The presence of bubbles or a milky coloration could indicate presence of water in the oil.
