■ Engine oil consumption
Some engine oil will be consumed while driving. The rate of consumption
can be affected by such factors as transmission type, driving style, terrain
and temperature. Under the followi ng conditions, oil consumption can be
increased and thus require refilling between maintenance intervals:
● When the engine is new and within the break-in period
● When the engine oil is of lower quality
● When the incorrect oil viscosity is used
● When engine braking is employed (repeatedly)
