Oil capacities are defined according to the following methods

GENERAL
CAPACITIES (in litres)
Draining of the engine lubrication system by GRAVITY
Place the vehicle on horizontal ground (in the high position if
hydropneumatic suspension).
The engine should be hot (oil temperature 80°C).
Drain the sump by gravity.
Remove the oil filter cartridge (time for draining and drip-drip = 15
minutesapprox.).
Refit the cap with a new seal.
Refit a new oil filter cartridge.
Refill the engine with oil (see table for oil capacity).
Start the engine to fill the oil filter cartridge.
Stop the engine (allow to stabilise for 5 minutes).Draining of the engine lubrication system by SUCTION
Place the vehicle on horizontal ground (in the high position if
hydropneumatic suspension).
The engine should be hot (oil temperature 80°C).
Remove the oil by suction through the dipstick tube.
Remove the oil filter cartridge.
Maintain the suction of oil in the sump (15 minutesapprox.).
Refit a new oil filter cartridge.
Refill the engine with oil (see table for oil capacity).
Start the engine to fill the oil filter cartridge.
Stop the engine (allow to stabilise for 5 minutes).
WARNING: Remove the suction container before starting the engine.
ESSENTIAL: Systematically check the oil level using the oil dipstick.

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-INafter:
- 3 000 miles (5 000 km)for a PETROLengine.
- 6 000 miles (10 000 km)for a DIESELengine.
III - MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLEoil consumption for a RUN-INengine.
- 0.5 litresper 600 miles (1 000 km)for a PETROLengine.
- 1 litreper 600 miles (1 000 km)for a DIESELengine.
DO NOT INTERVENE BELOW THESE VALUES.
IV - OIL LEVEL:The level should NEVERbe 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.
