GENERAL
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
I - Oil consumption depends on:
- the engine type.
- how run-in or worn it is.
- the type of oil used.
- the driving conditions.
II - An engine can be considered RUN-IN after:
- 3,000 miles (5,000 km) for a PETROL engine.
- 6,000 miles (10,000 km) for a DIESEL engine.
III - MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE oil consumption for a RUN-IN engine:
- 0.5 litres per 600 miles (1,000 km) for a PETROL engine.
- 1 litre per 600 miles (1,000 km) for a DIESEL engine.
DO NOT INTERVENE BELOW THESE VALUES.
IV - OIL LEVEL: The level should NEVER be above the MAX. mark on the dipstick after changing or topping up the oil.
- This excess oil will be used up rapidly.
- It will reduce the engine output and adversely affect the operation of the air circuits and gas recycling.
