PROCEDURE FOR MEASURING OIL
CONSUMPTION
1 - Filling to the maximum level
Turn the engine off.
Wait 2 minutes for all the oil to flow into the oil sump.
Carry out a visual inspection using the dipstick.
Top up to the "MAX" mark.
Make a paint mark on both the filler plug and the
sump drain plug in order to be able to check later that
it has not been removed.
2 - Customer driving
Ask the customer to drive approximately 1240 miles
(2000 km) in the vehicle without letting the oil level
reach the "MIN" mark.
3 - Topping up
Turn the engine off.
Wait 2 minutes for all the oil to flow into the oil sump.
Carry out a visual inspection using the dipstick.
Top up to the "MAX" mark.
Note the quantity of oil added and the mileage cove-
red since the last top-up to maximum level.
4 - Measurement of the oil consumption
Oil consumption = Quantity of topping up oil (in
litres) / number of kilometres (in thousands).
