MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE — Engine Oil & Oil Filter
Changing of Engine Oil and Oil Filter :
Check level of oil in sump after every 1000 km and top up if necessary.
Change the oil and oil filter cartridge at specified intervals (Engine oil
and oil filter cartridge should be changed earlier if the car is
operating in sandy/dusty conditions). Changing of oil and oil filter
requires access from underneath the body. The car should be raised
on a hoist at a service station or should be parked on a service pit.
CAUTION
It is advisable to wash your hands with soap and water as soon as
possible after handling the engine oil.
1. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature. Then
shut it off.
2. Open the bonnet and remove the engine oil filler cap. Remove the
drain plug of the oil sump from the bottom of the engine. Drain
the oil into an appropriate container. Take proper care as the engine
oil will be hot.
3. Remove the oil filter with the help of a special wrench. Destroy the
filter to avoid reusage of the same.
4. Smear a little fresh engine oil on the rubber gasket of the new
engine oil filter. Hand tighten the engine oil filter and give a further
three fourth turn with the special tool.
