Replacement of engine oil and
filter
Replace engine oil according to time
and mileage intervals, for engine oil
changes along with the running of
engine. It will go bad gradually and
lose lubricating features.
Under special road conditions, such
as frequent cold starting, on obvious
urban traffic condition and sudden
stop and drive by turns, engine oil
and filter should be replaced at much
shorter intervals (comparing with
recommended time schedule of
maintenance).
Filter elements should be replaced,
too, at the same time.
The adverse circumstances include:
· Outer temperature is always below
the freezing point.
· Continue to be idling and/or
frequent low-speed running (stop and
drive by turns).
·Drive in dusty area.
