Engine oil dipstick
The engine oil is affected by many
factors. A new engine reaches the normal
operating specification only after
traveling approx. 5,000 Km. More engine
oil might be consumed when the engine
operates with high load.
Regularly check the engine oil, e.g. when
refueling or before a long-distance
journey.
Stop the vehicle on a level ground before
the engine oil is checked. Turn off the
ignition switch and wait for several
minutes in order to let the engine oil flow
into the oil sump (It may need more time
when the outside temperature is low or
the normal working temperature of the
engine is still unavailable). Before the
engine oil is checked, DO NOT start the
engine at the cold state. Draw out the oil
dipstick and clean it with the
flannelette-free cloth. Carefully insert it
and draw it out again.
If the level of oil is between the MIN and
MAX marks on the lower of dipstick, DO
NOT refill the oil. The hot oil may
exceed the MAX mark several
millimeters due to the thermal expansion.
If the level of oil is located at the lower
MIN mark or below, refill the engine oil,
which conforms to the Chery’s
specifications, to the position between the
MIN and MAX marks only. For the
details, see the chapter “Capacity and
Specifications”.
Engine oil filler cap
Turn the filler cap in the anticlockwise
direction and pull out it to open the filler
cap. Please DO NOT open the filler cap
when the engine is operating.
Please DO NOT use the oil
additives or engine treating
compound. It is not only
unnecessary, but also may
damage the engine in certain cases,
without the warranty.
Turn the filler cap in clockwise direction
until the “Kala” sound is heard. It means
that the filler cap is closed.
