Engine Lubricating Oil - Replenishment
Transaction No.: 2057978/6
Release date: 02-Nov-2022
Customer statement / workshop findings
Engine lubricating oil lamp illuminated on driver instrument panel.
Engine lubricating oil requires “topping up” between services.
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 running-in periods consume more oil during the running-in period, and the oil consumption will stabilize after the running-in period.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for specific running-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,
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.
Certain driving conditions may negatively influence the rate of oil consumption. This can occur while the vehicle is operated in city driving
conditions, for example: stop and go traffic with extended idle periods.

Not applicable
Measure
With a Customer complaint of low engine lubricating oil level between services, carry out the following:
1. Check for signs of oil leakage within the engine bay and underneath the vehicle.
2. Check for signs of blue smoke from the exhaust tailpipe, the check should be made during engine start, whilst idling, when depressing the
throttle and with the engine under load.
3. “Top up” the engine with correct specification engine oil refer to the applicable Repair Group 17 Engine lubrication - Checking engine
oil.
Please note the following;
•
Current mileage of vehicle.
•
Amount of engine oil required to “top up”
If no issues are found advise the Customer that “Topping Up” the engine lubricating oil is “normal”.
NOTE: It is acceptable for the engine to consume a certain amount of engine lubricating during operation. The
acceptable maximum oil consumption for each model variant is as follows:V6 – PHEV – From 19 MY - Engine designation 330/V6 - 0.5 Litres / 1000km (621 Miles) V8
– From 18 MY - Engine designation - 404/V8 - 0.8 Litres / 1000km (621 Miles)
W12 – From 17MY – Engine designations – 447/W12 and 467/W12 – 1.0 Litre / 1000km (621 Miles)
Raise an Information only DISS query, do not raise Technical DISS query for this issue unless a relevant defect is identified.
