Read out oil consumption with STAR DIAGNOSIS - AR18.00-P-0025-04CB

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 28 other vehicles, including the 2012 Mercedes-Benz GL550, 2012 Mercedes-Benz GL450, 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML63, 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML550, and 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTES For evaluating the actual values, the vehicle must be at the starting point of the measuring trip for example at the location of the oil change otherwise errors could occur while evaluating the actual values

Read out data for calculation of oil consumption with STAR DIAGNOSIS 

  1. In the case of the function main groups open menu point "Body".
  2. In the case of the function main group Body open "KI (instrument cluster)".
  3. In the case of the functions instrument cluster open menu point "Actual values".
  4. In the case of the actual values of the instrument cluster open "Active service system since last oil change".
  5. In the active service system menu point "Driven travel distance since last oil change" read off travel distance and note.

    IMPORTANT Example mileage: 1123 km

  6. In the active service system menu point "Quantity of oil added during oil change", read off oil quantity and note.

    IMPORTANT Example of added oil quantity: 6.3 liters

  7. In the active service system menu point "Last and second last detected oil quantity in engine with engine operation", read off last quantity of oil detected and note.

    IMPORTANT Example of detected oil quantity: 5.6 liters

Calculation of oil consumption 

Added oil quantity 6.3 liters Minus last detected oil quantity: 5.6 liters = Differential quantity 0.7 l

IMPORTANT If engine oil had been refilled during the measuring trip, the refill quantity has to be added when calculating the filled oil quantity

Oil consumption = Quantity difference x 1000/Test course

= 0.7 l x 1000/1123 Km

= 0.62 l/1000 km
