- how run-in or worn it is.
- the type of oil used.
- the driving conditions.

- 3,000 miles(5,000 km) for aPETROLengine.
- 6,000 miles (10,000 km) for a DIESELengine.
III - MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLEoil consumption for a RUN-INengine.
- 0.5 litres per600 miles (1,000 km) for a PETROL engine.
- 1 litre per 600 miles(1,000 km) for a DIESEL engine.
DO NOT WORK BELOW THESE VALUES.
IV - OIL LEVEL :The level shouldNEVER be above theMAX. 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.
