VEHICLE SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
Maintain the engine oil at a proper level to
ensure correct lubrication of engine.
It is normal that the engine consumes some oil.
Check the engine oil level regularly, e.g. every
time parking for refueling.
If the engine oil pressure warning lamp located
inside instrument panel is ON, check the
engine oil level immediately.
Engine Oil Level Check
1. Park the vehicle on a horizontal ground.
2. After the engine stops running, wait for a
few minutes to have the oil back to the oil
pan. For cold engine, the time for the oil
returning to the oil pan will be relatively
long.
3. Pull out the oil dipstick and clean it.
4. Insert the oil dipstick completely.
5. Pull out the oil dipstick again.
6. Check the engine oil on the dipstick to
e n s u r e t h a t t h e o i l i s f r e e o f
contamination.
Engine Oil
7. Observe the oil level via the oil dipstick.
The oil level should be between the lower
limit and the upper limit.
8. If the oil level is lower than the lower limit,
add engine oil of the same grade to have
the oil level approaching to but not higher
than the upper limit. The engine oil filler
cap is on the cylinder head cover. Refer to
the diagram of “Engine Compartment”.
Engine oil is irritating and can cause illness
or fatal danger in case of swallowing.
Ÿ Keep it out of reach of children.
Ÿ Avoid repeated or prolonged skin
contact with engine oil.
Ÿ Wash the part in contact with engine
oil with soap water or hand sanitizer.
Caution
Prohibit the engine oil level from being
higher than the upper limit mark on the
oil dipstick. Excessive engine oil may
have adverse effect on the engine,
including:
Ÿ Increased engine oil consumption.
Ÿ Oil spilling of spark plug.
Ÿ A large amount of carbon deposits
accumulated on the engine.
Note
Engine Oil and Oil Filter Replacement
The engine oil will lose the lubricating capacity
after being contaminated. Be sure to replace
the engine oil in accordance with maintenance
procedures. The oil filter must be replaced at
the same time of engine oil replacement every
tim e . U nde r h a rsh c o n dit i o ns, t h e
replacement interval of engine oil and oil filter
must be shorter than the interval specified in
standard maintenance procedures.
This work requires professional skills,
tools and equipment; therefore, please
go to the MG Authorised Service Center
for help. Otherwise, it may cause
personal injury or damage to the vehicle.
