SAFARI BSVI SERVICE MANUAL

KRYOTEC ENGINE 67 16. Lugging Engine Lugging is running the engine at a lower RPM in a condition where a higher RPM (more power/torque) should be implemented. Especially susceptible on vehicles equipped with a manual transmission. This driving habit causes more stress loading on the piston and can lead to increases in engine oil consumption. 17. Turbocharged Engines There is a possibility for higher crankcase pressure (as compared to naturally aspirated engines) which is normal for turbocharged engines. This condition causes varying amounts of engine oil to enter the intake manifold, charge air cooler and associated plumbing to and from the charge air cooler, also a leaking turbocharger seal will draw oil into the combustion chamber where it will burn (blue smoke from tail pipe may be present) and form carbon deposits which contribute to further oil consumption as they interfere with proper engine function. 18. Restricted Air Intake Excessive restriction in the air intake system will increase engine vacuum and can increase oil consumption, an extremely dirty air filter would be one example of this situation. B. REGULAR MAINTENANCE i. ENGINE OIL AND FILTER CHANGE DESCRIPTION Change the engine oil and filter as per service schedule. If the vehicle is operated in sandy/dusty conditions, idled extensively, or subject to frequent short distance driving, change the engine oil and filter more frequently. CAUTION Always use the recommended grade and quality of motor oil. Never use reclaimed oil as this may not protect the engine components properly. NOTE To protect the environment, always recycle or dispose of oil at the proper outlets. PROCEDURE WARNING Engine oil will be hot. Contact with hot engine oil will cause bums. Use care when handling hot engine oil. 1. Drive the vehicle so the engine oil is at normal operating temperature. 2. Raise the vehicle off the ground to access the oil sump drain plug and oil filter.  Raise the vehicle with a lift post.  Park the vehicle on flat, level surface and engage the parking brake. Place chocks at the rear wheels and raise the front of the vehicle with a floor jack. 3. Raise the vehicle bonnet/hood and remove the oil fill cap. 4. Remove engine underbody guard.
