This section provides a brief
description of some kinds of opera-
tions on the vehicle technical mainte-
nance and current repair.
Full technique of maintenance,
repair and scrappage of vehicles can
be provided by manufacturer certi-
fied SSNE, equipped with special
equipment and tooling. Your vehicle
technical maintenance and repair
should be carried out in strict com-
pliance with the requirements of your
vehicle log book.
All operations in the engine com-
partment must be carried out after
opening the bonnet (see Section
«Bonnet»).
ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM
With the engine running, the engine
oil consumption is a normal phenome-
non. The value of oil consumption
depends on driving style of the vehicle
and it is determined by the engine load
and the engine shaft speed. In the ini-
tial operating period the oil consump-
tion is slightly increased.
Therefore, you should regularly,
especially before long trips, check
the oil level in the engine case.
The oil level is checked in a cold
dead engine when the vehicle is
located on a horizontal surface. The
level should be between MIN and
MAX oil level indicator 1 (Fig. 45). If
necessary, top up the oil (see
Appendix 1) through the filler, closed
by plug 2.
In 16-valve engine the oil level
indicator handle 1 is brought even
with the upper engine cover. The oil
level should be from upper to lower
score edge on the indicator.
After topping up the oil level
should be checked no sooner, than in
three minutes to give topped up por-
tion of the oil time to drain into the
engine case. To measure the oil level
properly you should insert indicator 1
to its mounting hole until it stops.
ATTENTION!
Do not exceed the oil level in
the engine case above MAX mark
of oil level indicator 1.
Otherwise, the oil will enter the
combustion chamber through the
engine case ventilation system and
together with exhaust gases will be
emitted into the atmosphere, and oil
combustion products may result in
the catalytic converter failure.
During forced operation in winter,
under negative temperature condi-
tions combined with predominance
of urban traffic, the oil change in the
engine is recommended to make
twice more often than specified in
the vehicle log book.
