FUNCTION OF ENGINE OIL
Engine oil’s major function is to lubricate and cool the parts inside of
the engine, which enables engine to work properly.
Consumption of Engine Oil
The consumption of engine oil is depending on the viscosity and qual-
ity of the oil, and the driving habit. More oil may be required under
the following conditions;
- When the Vehicle is New
A new engine usually consumes more oil because its pistons, piston
ring and cylinder walls are not yet adjusted with an optimal condition.
Oil Consumption : Max. 0.8 Liter per 1,000 km
Accordingly, it is necessary for the driver to check frequently the oil
level and to replenish oil if needed. SYMC recommends that the oil
level be checked every time you refuel the vehicle or you drive the
long distance until the first 5,000 km.
- When driving at High Engine Speeds
As long as you keep the followings with sufficient care in your first
running the vehicle, it will guarantee you to get excellent and com-
fortable performance for a long with your vehicle.
• Remember to check the engine oil level and shorten the cycle to
refuel the engine oil under severe driving conditions.
• Avoid subjecting to engine to heavy loads by driving at full throttle,
especially be careful when the outside temperature remains be-
low freezing for the first 1,000 km.
• Do not use the trailing in the first 1,000 km driving
* What’s Severe Driving Condition?
• Driving at the high engine speed or at high-speed
• Driving for consecutive two hours at high speed
• Driving the rough road, off-road, dirt-laden road, and muddy roads
• Driving in areas where salt or other corrosive materials are being
used
• Repeated driving in short-distance
• Driving with the excessive idling
• High load driving such as trailing
Use only Ssangyong genuine engine oil and filter. Use of non-rec-
ommended products could cause damage to the engine.
