Affected Vehicles
Condition
Based on customer concern, follow the procedure below.
Technical background
In order to provide effective lubrication and cooling of internal engine components, all internal combustion engines consume a certain amount of
engine oil. Oil consumption varies from engine to engine and may change significantly over the life of the engine. Typically engines with specified
break-in periods consume more oil during the break-in period, and the oil consumption will stabilize after the break-in period. Refer to the Owner's
Manual for specific break-in procedures.
Under normal conditions, the rate of oil consumption depends on the quality and viscosity of the oil, the RPM at which the engine is operated, the
ambient temperature and road conditions. Additional factors are the amount of oil dilution from water condensation or fuel residue and the oxidation
level of the oil.
Production Solution
Not Applicable.
