| Engine Oil |
It is normal for engines to consume some engine oil during operation.
If the Oil Pressure warning light glows continuously, check the engine oil level and add the recommended grade of oil if necessary.
Use Mahindra Maximile Premium Engine Oil only. It is ideal for your Scorpio.
Note: Engine oil consumption depends upon the viscosity and quality of the oil, and upon the conditions in which the vehicle is driven. Oil consumption will be more due to high speed driving and frequent acceleration and deceleration. A new engine will consume more oil since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls are not conditioned.

| Battery |
If the battery terminal is corroded, wash it with a solution of warm water and baking soda.
Check the battery exterior for corroded and loose terminal connections.
Be sure the engine and all accessories are turned 'OFF' before performing maintenance.
Always disconnect the negative terminal cable first from the battery.
Check the electrolyte level at intervals of 3 months. If the level is below the lower marker, add distilled water until the level reaches the upper marker.

| Fuel Economy |
Get up to 25% more fuel efficiency from your Scorpio by following these tips.
Sudden bursts of speed can prove costly .
Accelerate steadily, brake gradually. Plan your trip and pace your speed. And avoid high traffic density roads.
Rolling in neutral saves 15-20 cc of fuel
Ensure perfect wheel balance and you can cover up to 20% of your distance in neutral.
Wrong tyre pressure is a drain on fuel
Check the owner's manual for the correct tyre pressure for your Scorpio. Better still invest in a tyre pressure gauge.
Use oils & fluids recommended by the manufacturer
Only Mahindra knows what oils & fluids your Scorpio needs. Buy only what is recommended in the manual.
Excessive cooling heats up fuel expenses
Switch off the AC when it's not needed. Keep the refrigerant topped up. Get the AC checked regularly.
Use the tachometer to save fuel
Your owner's manual will tell you how to shift gears according to the Tachometer and thus save fuel.
Going easy on the clutch saves fuel
Take your foot off the clutch pedal if you're not shifting gears. And when you do use it, remember to depress it completely.
Remove the 3rd row to reduce fuel usage
Fill only as much fuel as needed. It reduces extra weight, unwanted spillage and evaporation losses. Don't carry anything that's not needed.
Dirt soaks up fuel
Remove dirt from wheel arches, drip rails and other such places. It could reduce weight by almost 15 kg.
Go easy on accessories
Accessories such as roof carriers and bumper extensions drag down fuel efficiency.
Listen to music and save fuel
When stuck in traffic, turn off the engine and switch on the car deck.
