Check method on engine oil consumption

Background

The oil consumption is in many cases used as a measure of the condition of the engine. Normally all engines use a certain amount of oil. The
film of oil that lubricates the upper piston rings is burned at the same time as the fuel, which gradually causes the oil level to drop. There are of
course also other factors that affect the oil Consumption, e.g. operating conditions and the condition of the engine. Here follows a short
description of influencing factors, checking and measuring methods and which action can be taken to manage any problems.

Factors influencing the oil consumption

- A too high oil level causes more oil to be thrown up on the cylinder walls and this increases the oil consumption.
- Only check the oil level after 10-30 minutes after the engine has stopped to allow the oil to run back to the oil sump.
- Larger engines have as a rule higher engine oil consumption than small engines.
- Oil has the ability to penetrate the smallest openings.

Checking and estimating oil consumption

- Check for oil leakage around the engine and components

- Check for oil leakage at the turbocharger
- Check for oil leakage at induction manifold / charge air pipe
- Take a lubricating oil sample
- All affected bolts should be check-tightened.
- The oil level should be kept slightly below the full mark on the oil dipstick. Only check the oil level after 10-30 minutes after the engine
has stopped to allow the oil to run back to the oil sump.
- Always use the recommended oil grade and type according to the Operator's Manual, or other service information such as Service
Bulletin or Service Manual issued by the manufacturer.

- Check gaskets, seals, oil filters, tubes, intake hoses, CAC hoses, etc.

The duration of the test period should be at least 1000-1500 HMR in order to avoid jumping to conclusions and taking unnecessary action.

Check method on engine oil consumption

Instruction

NOTE!
If possible, before testing, change oil and filters with a new one.
1. Download Matris data from machine before test. (Always attach matris for each report of Oil Comsumption)
2. Begin with full fuel tank and new oil filled to the Max mark on oil dip stick.
3. Note the hour recorder reading and fuel, oil amount every time you fill fuel and oil.
NOTE!

- Don't top up the oil until the oil level has reached the Min line. Please ensure that the oil level should not go below the minimum level.
- Never fill oil to above the Max line.
- In case the oil is changed during the test period, check the oil level before the draining, and then refill to the same oil level.
- D16 engine with min – max dipstick capacity is around 9 - 10 liters then it means that every top up should be between
9 –10 liters. Below is wrong practice if the top up is below 8 liter or above 9 liter.

4. End with full fuel tank and oil filled to the Max line at the same condition as the initial condition and make a note of the amount.
5. Download the Matris data from the machine after the test.
6. Add up the total oil amount and fuel amount which was filled during the test
7. Calculate the engine oil consumption rate as below example Engine oil consumption rate (%) = (Total engine oil consumption) / (Total
fuel consumption) X 100.
8. The fuel consumption data has to be compared is the fuel consumption data by Matris (Fuel Burn by the engine) not fuel top / fill it into
the tank.

Normal consumption
1. Oil consumption of 0.45% or less = OK at all-load operation
2. if these limit value are exceeded, proceed as follows:
Carefully check the oil consumption as per table 1 Oil Consumption Report and contact the respective Dealer

NOTE!
A new or fully overhauled engine often uses more oil than a running engine. Only after 1000–1500 operating hours, when the piston rings have
bedded-in in the cylinders, it is possible correctly to determine the oil consumption.

Recommended lubricants
ENGINE D13J, D16J
NOTE!
It is very important that instructions for oil grade are followed; otherwise deposits from the oil may clog the after treatment system.

Follow recommended change intervals according to the oil's grade (quality class).

ENGINE D13J, D16J

NOTE!
It is very important that instructions for oil grade are followed for fuels with different sulphur contents. Otherwise acid deposits may shorten the engines service life.
