Determine oil consumption - AR18.00-P-0025-05OM

Determine the oil mass before the measuring drive and note down the kilometer reading 

1. Place the vehicle on an even, horizontal surface.
2. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature. Temperature of engine oil  80°C or 176°F
3. Fill the engine oil level up to maximum.
4. Drain the engine oil and collect it in a clean container.
5. Weigh the vessel with the engine oil.
6. Note down the mass (m ₁  )  of the filled container, with the kilometer reading (s ₁  1)  on the "Engine analysis sheet" form.
7. Pour the engine oil from the container into the engine.

Calculate oil consumption: 

Oil density (= 0.85 kg/l)

Measurement distance (s) = kilometer reading (s2) - kilometer reading (s1)

Mass difference (m_diff ) = mass (m1) - mass (m2)

Oil consumption (V_oil ) = Mass difference (m _diff ) x 1000/Measurement distance (s_mess ) x oil density

Example of oil consumption calculation: 

^s mess = 235778 km - 234567 km = 1211 km

m_diff = 8.5 kg - 7.2 kg = 1.3 kg

V_oil = 1.3kg x 1000/1211 km x 0.85 kg/l = 1.26 l/1000 km

Depending on driving style, the engine consumes up to 0.8 liters of oil per 1000 kilometers.
