Engine oil consumption
The engin e in your v ehicl e dep ends on an ad e
quat e amount of oil to lubricate and cool all of
its moving parts.
In order to provide effect ive lub rication and cool
ing of inte rnal engine components, all inte rnal
combustion engines consume a certain amount
of oil. Oil consumption varies from eng ine to en
gine and may change significantly over the life of
the engine. Typ ically, engines w ith a specified
break -in period (see
c> page 86) consume more
o il dur ing the break-in per iod than they consume
after oil consumption has stabilized .
Under normal cond itions, the rate of oil con
sumption depends on the qua lity and viscos ity of
the oil, the RPM (revolutions per m inute) at
which the engine is operated, the amb ient tem
perature and road condi tions. Further facto rs a re
the amo unt of oil di lution from water co ndensa
tion or fue l resid ue a nd the oxidation level of the
oi l. As any engine is subject to wear as mileage
builds up, the oi l consumption may increase ove r
time unt il replacement of worn components may
become necessary.
With a ll these variab les coming into play, no
standard rate of oi l consumption can be estab
lished or spec ified . There is no alternative to reg
ular and frequent checking of the oi l level, see
Note .
If the y ellow engine oil leve l warning symbo l Bl
in the instrument cluster lights up, you should
check the o il level as soon as possible
c> page 334. Top off the o il at your earliest con
venience
