4. OPERATING PRINCIPLES
The E-VGT is designed to get more improved engine power in all ranges by controlling the turbine as 
follows:
1) How it Works at Low Speed
Normal turbocharger cannot get the turbo effect because the amount of exhaust gas is not enough and 
the flow speed is slow in a low speed zone, but VGT allows the flow passage of exhaust to narrow, 
resulting in increasing the flow speed of exhaust gas and running the turbine quickly and powerfully. 
Therefore, as VGT can intake more air than normal turbocharger, it can give the benefit of the increased 
output even in a low speed zone.
Turbocharger lag
The turbocharger is at idle speed when there is no load or it is in the normal driving condition. During 
this period, the amount of exhaust gas passing through the turbine is not enough to turn the 
compressor wheel (impeller) fast. Therefore, the intake air is not compressed as needed.
Because of this, it takes time for turbocharger to supply the additional power after the accelerator 
pedal is depressed. This is called "turbocharger lag". Basic principle at low speed
At low speed, it utilizes the principle of venturi. 
For example, when air flows through the venturi 
tube, the flow speed is faster and the pressure is 
lower at the point "A". In this case, if the inner 
diameter of venturi is more narrowed, the flow 
speed is so much faster (refer to the equation).

2) How it Works at High Speed
In a high speed zone, the amount of exhaust gas increases and it is accompanied with a great force. 
Therefore, if the inner diameter of venturi is more widened, the turbine in the turbocharger by the 
releasing force of abundant exhaust gas can deliver a more increased energy to the compressor. The 
output will increase in submission to the increase of intake air volume.

2. MAINTENANCE
1) Level Check
Park the vehicle on a level ground and apply the parking brake. Stop the engine and wait more than 5 
minutes.
Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth. Reinsert it all the way.
Pull out it again and check the oil level.
The oil level should be between the maximum (Max) mark and minimum (Min) mark on the oil dipstick. 
Oil should be replenished before the level goes below the minimum mark. -
-
-
Operating vehicle with insufficient amount of oil can damage the engine. Make sure the engine oil 
level is correct and add oil if necessary.
2) Replenishment
If the level gets to the lower point, open the filler cap on top of the cylinder block and add the genuine oil 
without exceeding the level of the upper mark.
Recheck the oil level after 5 minutes.
Regularly check the engine oil level and add Ssangyong genuine engine oil if necessary.
Clean the dipstick with clean cloth so that any foreign materials cannot get into the engine.
The oil should not go above the upper mark on the dipstick.
The engine oil may be consumed more if the engine is new. -

1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1) Overview
The lubrication system supplies oil to each lubrication section to prevent friction and wear and to remove 
heat from the friction part. As the engine runs, frictional heat is generated on each lubrication section. If 
this condition persists, the bearing can be burned and stuck. 
In other words, it creates an oil film on each sliding surface to convert solid friction to liquid friction in order 
to minimize wear and prevent temperature increasing on the friction part.
For the D20DTF engine with no oil pressure switch, the engine ECU receives the low engine oil level 
signal from the oil level sensor and communicates with the instrument cluster through the CAN 
communication to turn on the warning lamp.

2. FUNCTIONS OF LUBRICATION
1) Lubrication
It creates a viscous barrier between moving parts that reduces friction, which means less heat and 
longer life for those parts. As a lubricant, oil must maintain a protective film to prevent metal-to-metal 
contact. It must be fluid enough to allow easy starting and to circulate quickly through the engine, yet 
remain thick enough at higher operating temperatures and speeds to provide adequate lubrication.
2) Cooling
Combustion heat and friction energy must be removed from the engine in order to prevent its 
overheating. Most of heat energy is taken by the engine oil.
Clean oil passages, proper viscosity and low contamination provide sufficient flow rate of the engine oil 
and effective cooling.
3) Sealing
It helps to seal the space between the pistons and the cylinder walls so that compression is more 
effective and power is not lost during combustion. 
4) Anti-corrosion
As a corrosion inhibitor, oil coats internal engine parts to prevent surface rust on the inside of the engine 
which can be caused by blow-by products and water formed in combustion. It must also be capable of 
neutralizing the acids that are formed by combustion blow-by and oil oxidation at high temperatures.
5) Cleaning
The small particles of dirt or other contaminants are suspended in oil and carried away to be filtered out. 
As a detergent, engine oil must be able to gather and suspend dirt and other contaminants until the oil 
can leave them as it passes through the filter and returns to the internal engine environment.

1) Coolant Level Check
Park the vehicle on level ground and apply the parking brake. Stop the engine and wait until it is 
cooled down.
The coolant level should be between the MAX and MIN mark on the coolant reservoir.1.
2.
Scalding hot coolant and steam could be blown out under pressure, which could cause serious 
injury. Never remove the coolant reservoir cap when the engine and radiator are hot.
Avoid any direct contact of the coolant to the painted body of the vehicle. -
