Part III EngineChpater 1 Engine AssemblyInformation about engine accessories in MK-1 Car Maintenance Manual deals with only that concerned with a
complete car. Please refer to separated Maintenance Manual for information about the engine body. Engines
concerned are MR479Q, MR479QA and MR481QA.Section 1 Engine Inspection1. Check the engine oil
(1) Check the oil level.
(2) Start the engine, and reach warm-up temperature.
(3) Shut the engine down, wait for 3-5min, and check the oil level.
(4) Check whether the oil level is in within the range marked by the scale; if it is lower than the limit (mark
L), fill oil to mark F.
(5) Keep the oil clean without any coolant or petrol mixed in and with appropriate viscosity.
2. Change oil.
(1) Start the engine. When normal temperature is reached, shut down the engine.
(2) Open the oil cap, remove the oil drain plug, and drain the oil.
(3) Tighten the oil drain plug to a specified torque 54N.m.
(4) Fill fresh oil into the crank case with oil quantity 2.8L in case of the filter not changed, 3.0L in case of the
filter changed and 3.5L in case of the dry filter.
(5) Fit on the oil filling cap.
(6) Start the engine.
(7) Shut down the engine and check the oil quantity, and fill oil to the mark F on the oil scale if necessary.
3. Replace the oil filter.
(1) Remove the oil filter.
(2) Before mounting the oil filter, apply a small quantity of engine oil to the O-ring of the new oil filter.
(3) Tight the oil filter to a specified torque (12.7N.m).
(4) Start the engine, and check whether there is any leakage
(5) Shut down the engine, check the oil quantity and fill as required.
4. Oil selection
Oil over PAI SG grade is preferred.
SAE10W-30 or SAE10W-40 is preferred, and ASE5W-30 is used in cold region in the winter.
Note: For the best effect and the greatest safety, it is advisable to use the following lubrication oil.
a. Meet the requirements of API level.
b. Select proper SAE viscosity rating within expected ambient temperature.
The lubrication oil that can not meet the requirements of SAE viscosity and API label at the same time is not
allowed.
5. Check the coolant.
(1) After the engine is cooled down, remove the radiator cover.EngineEngine Assembly3-1 -
