3. 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.
