Determining Oil Consumption Based On The Customer Statement
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Porsche Cayenne, 2013 Porsche Cayenne, 2012 Porsche Cayenne, and 2011 Porsche Cayenne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Procedure:
- Check the engine-oil level
as described in
>WM, 170101 CHECKING ENGINE-OIL LEVEL USING THE PIWIS TESTER
- Determine engine oil consumption based on the customer statement.
The following information and values are required in order to determine the oil consumption:
- Amount of oil already added by the customer
- Mileage of the vehicle
- The oil level measured using PIWIS Tester II
- Type of oil level sensor installed in the vehicle
- DME data record identifier
Examples of determining oil consumption
- Cayenne S, model year 2011
- DME data record identifier less than '1545'
Engine oil level sensor without PR number S35 Engine oil level sensor with PR number S35 Oil level measured using PIWIS Tester II (example) 68 mm 68 mm - MAX value
76 mm (+/- 3 mm) 72 mm (+/- 3 mm) - Conversion factor for millimeters to milliliters
1 mm = 37 ml Determine total oil consumption (example) Difference between MAX value and measured oil level (example) 76 mm - 68 mm = 8 mm 72 mm - 68 mm = 4 mm = Refill quantity up to MAX oil level 8 x 37 ml = 296 ml 4 x 37 ml = 148 ml + Amount of oil already added by the customer (example) 2000 ml 2000 ml = Total oil consumption 2296 ml 2148 ml Determine average oil consumption per 600 miles (1, 000 km) (example) Mileage of the vehicle 3750 miles (6, 000 km) 3750 miles (6, 000 km) Total oil consumption 2296 ml 2148 ml Average oil consumption/600 miles (1, 000 km) 2296 ml: 6 = 383 ml 2148 ml: 6 = 358 ml - Cayenne S, model year 2011 - DME data record identifier '1545' or higher
Information
Please note that the values for vehicles with a DME data record identifier'1468', '1545' or higher (Cayenne S) or "1473', 1546' or higher (Cayenne Turbo) will not be published within the service information . Please always refer to this Technical Information when checking the oil level and determining the engine-oil quantity to be added on these vehicles.
