into the combustion chamber due to high negative pressure

generated when the vehicle is decelerating. This oil gets burnt in

the combustion chamber

• Oil is also used to lubricate the stems of intake valves. Some of

this oil is sucked into the combustion chamber together with the

intake air and is burnt there

• Engine oil consumption depends upon the viscosity and quality of

the oil, and upon the conditions in which the vehicle is driven. Oil

consumption will be more due to high speed driving and frequent

acceleration and deceleration. A new engine may consume more

oil since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls are not

• If the oil level is below the ‘Min’ mark, add enough oil through the

oil filler neck to raise the level within the ‘Min’ and ‘Max’ marks.

Wait for a few minutes after every top up for the oil to settle

down before checking the level.
