Maintenance notice
This section introduces the inspection and replacement method of engine lubricating oil as well as the cleaning method of
lubricating oil strainer and lubricating oil filter. It also introduces various lubricating positions of the complete vehicle of this
model.
As an important factor that influences the engine’s performance and life span, the lubricating oil must be selected as per
regulations; ordinary engine oil, gear oil, vegetable oil, etc. are not allowed to be used instead of it. This engine was filled
with gasoline engine oil of 10W/40EG grade when leaving factory for sale. If you want to use other lubricating oil, its
quality scale must reach Grade SG, and its viscosity shall be selected according to the accompanying diagram depending
upon region and air temperature changes. While replacing lubricating oil, fully discharge the original lubricating oil in the
crankcase and clean it up with washing kerosene, and then refill fresh lubricating oil as per regulations.
The lubricating oil inside the engine must be fully discharged before inspection and cleaning.
Technical specifications: Lubricating oil charge volume: 1.8L
Oil pump flow rate: 10L/min (when engine speed is at 4000 rpm).
Tightening torque of oil drain plug:28-32N.m
Selecting viscosity as per temperature conditions
Low temperature property
Fuel economical efficiency Lubricating property under high temperature
High temperature property
Low temperature starting property Noise reduction property under high temperature
WARNING:
Repeatedly contacting the engine lubricating oil
for a long period may cause skin cancer.
Although such possibility is small when you
deal with used engines oil every day, Care
must be taken to fully cleanse your hands with
soap and water after dealing with the used
