ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST REPORT
INTRODUCTION:Please complete this report when a customer complaint of oil consumption is received. It is
important that the actual consumption rate is first established before any work or disassembly is performed on the
vehicle. It is also extremely important that all variables are eliminated when checking the engine oil level at the start
and again at the finish of an oil consumption test. Please refer to the accompanying Engine Oil Level Measurement
Procedure.
Oil consum ption is best meas ured by determ ining the distance travelled for the oil level to move fr om the “FULL” m ark
to the “ADD” m ark on the dipstick . This m ethod is m or e reliable and acc urate than m easur ing the am ount of oil added
over a period of time or set kilometre frequency.
