Poisonous liquids

Most liquids used in motor vehicles are poisonous and

should not be consumed or brought into contact with

open wounds (these substances include; battery acid,

anti-freeze, brake fluid, petrol, oil and windscreen

washer additives).

Obey all instructions printed on labels and containers!

Used engine oil

Prolonged contact with engine oil may cause serious

skin disorders, including dermatitis and cancer of the

skin. Wash thoroughly after contact.

Checking fluid levels

Due to the nature of the Caterham Seven with its high

revving engines and extreme cornering speeds it is

vitally important that the correct engine oil level is

maintained at all times.

Engine oil level cannot be checked too often

We recommend that it be checked at least every 500

miles and before any long journey or before every

session at a track day.

There are several different oil systems fitted to the

Seven, each of which requires a different means for

checking the level. It is important that you are clear on

the correct procedure for the system fitted to your car.

 Standard wet sump arrangements & engines

fitted with oil/air separator tank

 Engines with dry sump Bell tank and swirl tower

Engines with Standard Wet Sump Arrangement

 Start the engine and run until the normal

operating temperature is achieved (90-100°C).

 Stop the engine and remove the dipstick from its

tube and wipe clean before re-dipping, please

leave the dipstick in place for 30sec this will

ensure that the correct indication is achieved.

 The oil should be at the maximum level at all

times. (As a guide the difference between min

and max is approximately 1/2 litre).

 If required, oil should be added via the oil filler

cap on the top of the engine and must be of the

correct specification of oil for your engine type.

(See technical data).

 It is advisable to add a small amount at a time

and recheck by repeating the above procedures

until the correct level is achieved.

 Care should be taken not to overfill the engine

with oil.

 Always make sure the oil filler cap and dipstick

are fitted back in place before restarting the

engine.

Engines with dry sump bell tank and swirl tower

 Start the engine and run it until the normal

operating temperature is achieved (90-100°C).

 Switch off the engine.

 Unscrew the tank cap from the top of the swirl

tower. Wipe clean the dipstick provided before

dipping, this will ensure that the correct indication

is achieved. Be sure the dipstick fully home when

dipping.
