The weight of the G6DC engine is 205 kg (including attachments). The engine number G6DC is located at the junction of the engine and transmission. Owners on forums often complain about increasing lubricant consumption. The usual cause of excessive oil consumption is the rapid clogging of oil rings. The aluminum engine is very sensitive to overheating, so make sure to maintain the cooling system. In the beginning, there were many complaints about the timing belt resource, especially the hydraulic tensioner. Valve clearances need to be adjusted as hydraulic compensators are not provided.
