4.2.2. Check points for break-in
During the break-in (the initial running of the engine) period, be particularly observant
as follows :
z Check engine oil level frequently. Maintain oil level in the safe range, between the
“min.” and “max.” marks on dipstick.
IMPORTANT :
If you have a problem getting a good oil level reading on the oil level gauge,
rotate the oil level gauge 180° and re-insert for check.
z Watch the oil pressure warning lamp. If the lamp blinks, it may be the oil pick-up
screen is not covered with oil. Check oil level gauge. Add oil to the oil pan, if
required. Do not overfill.
z If level is correct and the status still exists, see your DEALER for possible switch
or oil pump and line malfunction.
IMPORTANT :
Oil pressure will rise as RPM increases, and fall as RPM decreases. In addition,
cold oil will generally show higher oil pressure for any specific RPM than hot oil.
Both of these conditions reflect normal engine operation.
z Monitor the coolant temperature gauge. Make sure that the circulation of coolant
is adequate. When the level of coolant in the reservoir tank is excessively low, the
needle of the coolant temperature gauge waves.
z Once the breaking in operation is complete, replace the cartridges of the engine
oil and the oil filter with new ones.
z Use an engine oil that satisfies the specifications recommended below.
