In internal combustion engines, oil consumption is the amount of oil that is consumed as a result of the combustion process. Oil consumption cannot be equated with oil leaks that occur in the oil pan, cylinder head cover, etc.
Normal oil consumption results from the combustion of a small amount in the cylinders, the removal of oil along with objects of combustion and friction. In addition, oil wear occurs due to the high temperatures and pressures to which the engine is constantly exposed.
In addition, oil consumption is affected by external operating conditions, driving style, and manufacturing tolerances. Oil consumption should not exceed 1.5 liters per 1000 km.
When the oil level drops to the "Add" level, be sure to add oil (the volume of oil added is a maximum of 1 liter).
