Engine Lubrication System
The lubrication system should be maintained
regularly -- Refer to “RECOMMENDED
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES” on page 20,
with the correct grade of lubricant as specified
in the maintenance summary -- Refer to
“Recommended Lubricants” on page 21. The
system is of the force feed type, the lubricating
oil being circulated to the engine bearings
under pressure by an oil pump driven from the
camshaft drive chain belt.
The dipstick provides some guide to the
condition of the oil. An additive type of oil
keeps
soot in suspension, and even a small amount
of soot causes the oil to darken rapidly.
However, if the dipstick is found to be heavily
coated with sludge, then obviously the oil
should be changed.
