Weigh engine oil
- Drain engine oil and catch with the oil reservoir provided.
- Place oil reservoir on a balance and weigh.
- Note engine oil mass in kg and kilometer reading for the vehicle.
- Pour engine oil into the engine.
Determine oil consumption
- Perform measurement run.
For a measuring drive undertaken by workshop personnel the test course is 250 km taking into account use of vehicle by customer. For a measuring drive performed by the customer the measurement distance is 1000 km.
- Drain engine oil and catch with the oil reservoir provided.
To prevent measurement errors, the new measurement must be carried out at the place of the first oil measurement and with the same oil reservoir. Measurement errors can occur otherwise.
- Place oil reservoir on a balance and weigh.
- Note engine oil mass in kg and kilometer reading for the vehicle.
- Calculate the difference in mass of the engine oil.
The difference in mass is calculated by subtracting the engine oil mass after the measuring drive from the oil mass before the measuring drive.
- Calculate measurement distance.
The measurement distance is calculated by subtracting the kilometer reading before the measuring drive from the kilometer reading after the measuring drive.
