100 – Engine Ancillaries, Oil Tank and Water Cooler
The difference between the minimum ‘Fill’ mark and maximum ‘Do not fill’ mark
is 2 litres.
If the level is too high, oil can enter the air intake system. Do not fill higher than
the maximum ‘Do not fill’ mark.

Add 7 litres of engine oil
Run the engine at idle speed for approx. 30 seconds
Add an extra 1.5 litres of engine oil
Run the engine until the engine oil temperature reaches 100 °C – 110 °C
(see chapter 901- Engine Warm-Up Procedure / Engine Start)
Check engine oil level (see 901 - 1.2 Checking Engine Oil Level) and add oil
if necessary

d) Adding Oil during an Endurance Race
1 litre of engine oil should be added after every 8 hours of running in the race.
The engine consumes approx. 1 litre of engine oil per 1,000 km.
Oil pressure dropouts in the WinDarab data acquisition are a clear indication for
the engine oil level being too low.
For this reason, the oil pressure must be carefully checked and monitored in the
data. The oil pressure should not drop below 5 bar when the butterflies are fully
open.
e) Adding Oil during the Race (Accessory)
To add engine oil during the race is recommended to equip the oil tank with a
quick release coupling. Adding oil is made using a pressurised oil bottle. Refer to
the PDM (4SA 115 001) for the individual part numbers.
