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.
