CONSUMPTION

Turn the engine off.
Wait 2 minutes for all the oil to flow into the oil sump.
Carry out a visual inspection using the dipstick.

Make a paint mark on both the filler plug and the
sump drain plug in order to be able to check later that
it has not been removed.

Ask the customer to drive approximately 1240 miles
(2000 km) in the vehicle without letting the oil level
reach the "MIN" mark.
