Note

 

The oil consumption can be measured by means of oil dipstick with millimeter scale and the pertinent dia­gram on back of data sheet.
Since there are two oil dipsticks and different data sheets, the following instructions should be observed:
On this engine use only oil dipstick, part no. 115 589 15 21 00 (red handle).

 

Data sheet
German/English, print no. 800.99.402.00 B French/Spanish, print no. 800.99.402.01 B
The sequence for measuring consumption is described on front page of data sheet.
To avoid faulty measuring, check engine oil for dilu­tion by fuel prior to measuring consumption.

To prevent any return flow of oil from air-oil cooler while measuring, install check valve between air-oil cooler and upper oil hose.
If the check valves cannot be installed due to insuffi­cient space, mount check valves with pipe elbow and connecting line.

Bleed air-oil cooler prior to measuring consumption.
For this purpose, plug 2 transparent plastic hoses on bleed screws located on check valve. Remove oil filler hole plug on cylinder head cover and insert both hoses into filler hole.
