Before checking the oil, warm up the engine to
the normal operating temperature and be sure your car is parked on level ground. Turn theengine off.
Wait a minute, then remove the dipstick, wipe it
off, fully reinsert the dipstick and withdraw itagain. Then note the highest level the oil hasreached on the dipstick. It should be betweenthe upper ("FULL") and lower ("LOW") range. If the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark,add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil:
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counter-
clockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clockwise. The distance between the "F" and "L" marks is equal to about 1 liter of oil. G350A01A-GAT

Engine oil consumption
Engine oil consumption
It is normal that an engine should consume
some engine oil while normal driving. The causeof oil consumption in a normal engine are asfollows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a piston moves downwards in thecylinder. High negative pressure generated
during engine operation sucks some of theoil into the combustion chamber. This oil with some oil of the cylinder wall is
burned by the high temperature combustiongases during the combustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly ef- fected by the viscosity and quality of oil,engine rpm and driving condition etc. Theengine oil is more consumed under severedriving conditions such as high speeds and
frequent acceleration and deceleration thannormal driving condition.

Park the car on level ground with the engine off.
1. Using a wrench of the correct size, loosen the oil filler bolt turning it counterclockwise and remove it with your fingers.
2. Use your finger to feel inside the hole. The oil level should be at its bottom edge. If it isnot, check for leaks before adding oil. Torefill the transaxle or bring the oil level up,add oil slowly until it reaches the properlevel. Do not overfill.
2. If the level is correct, lubricant should begin
to drip from the plug orifice. In this case theplug should be replaced. If the level is incor-rect, lubricant should be added until it beginsto drip from the plug orifice at which time theplug should be replaced.
