Oil consumption

OIL CONSUMPTION MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
a) Filling to the maximum level
The operation must be carried out with the engine hot (one rotation of the cooling fan assembly) and af-
ter settling for 15 minutes to allow all the oil to drain into the sump.
Check visually using the dipstick.
Top up to the maximum level.
Seal the drain plug (with a paint mark on both the filler plug and the sump’s drain plug) in order to be
able to check later that it has not been removed.
b) Customer driving
Ask the customer to drive the vehicle for a period corresponding to about 1250 miles (2,000 km) or before
the minimum level is reached.
c) Refilling to the maximum level
The operation must be carried out with the engine hot (one rotation of the cooling fan assembly) and af-
ter a settling time of 15 minutes.
Check visually using the dipstick.
Top up to the maximum level.
Note the quantity of oil and the mileage covered since the last filling to the maximum level.
d) Measurement of the oil consumption
Quantity of topping up oil (in litres)

CLEANING
It is very important not to scratch the gasket faces
of the aluminium components.
Use the Décapjoint product to dissolve any part of
the gasket which remains attached.
Apply the product to the parts to be cleaned; wait
about ten minutes, then remove it using a
wooden spatula.
Wear gloves whilst carrying out this operation.
Care must be taken whilst carrying out this ope-
ration in order to avoid any foreign bodies ente-
ring the oilways supplying oil under pressure to
the camshaft (oilways are located both in the cy-
linder block and the cylinder head).
Failure to follow to this advice could lead to the
blocking of the jets and thus cause rapid deterio-
ration of the cams and tappets.
