and repeat the compression measurement. If the reading greatly improves then the piston rings are damaged. If the reading stays the same then the cause is either damaged valve seats or valve stem seals. If the measurements for two cylinders next to each other are both too low then it is very likely that the cylinder head gasket between them Excessive Engine Oil Consumption The amount of oil an engine uses will vary with the way the vehicle is driven in addition to normal engine-to-engine variation. This is Trailer towing applications. Engines need oil to lubricate the following internal components: Cylinder block cylinder walls. When the pistons move downward, a thin film of oil is left on the cylinder walls. As the vehicle is operated, some oil is also drawn into the The following is a partial list of conditions that can affect oil consumption rates: Engine size. Operation under varying conditions can frequently be misleading. A vehicle that has been run for several thousand miles on short trips or in Make sure the selected engine oil meets Jaguar specification and the recommended API performance category "SG" and SAE viscosity grade Oil Consumption Test The following diagnostic procedure is used to determine the source of excessive oil consumption. • NOTE: Oil use is normally greater during the first 16,100 km (10,000 miles) of service. As mileage increases, oil use decreases. Vehicles in 1. Define excessive consumption, such as the number of miles driven per liter of oil used. Also determine customers's driving habits, such as sustained high speed operation, towing, extended idle and other considerations. 1. 2. Verify that the engine has no external oil leaks as described under Engine Oil Leaks. 2. 3. Verify that the engine has the correct oil level. 3. 4. Verify that the engine is not being run in an overfilled condition. Check the oil level at least five minutes after a hot shutdown with the vehicle parked on a level surface. In no case should the level be above the top of the cross-hatched area and the letter 4. 5. Carry out an oil consumption test: 1. Drain engine oil and fill with one liter less than the recommended amount. parked on level surface. 3. Remove the oil level indicator and wipe clean. (Do not wipe with anything contaminated with silicone compounds.) Install the oil level indicator making sure to seat the oil level indicator firmly in the oil level indicator tube. Remove the 4. Add one liter of oil. Start the engine and allow to idle for at least two minutes. Shut off the engine and allow the engine oil to drain back for at least five minutes. Mark the oil level dipstick, using the procedure above. (This level may range 5. Record the vehicles mileage. 1. Check the oil level regularly at intervals of 160-240 km (100-150 miles). 2. Return to the service point when the oil level drops below the lower (ADD) mark on the oil level indicator. 3. Add only full liters of the same oil in an emergency. Note the mileage at which the oil is added. 7. Check the oil level under the same conditions and at the same location as in steps 3 and 4. 1. Measure the distance from the oil level to the UPPER mark on the oil level indicator and record. 2. Measure the distance between the two scribe marks and record. 3. Divide the first measurement by the second. 4. Divide the distance driven during the oil test by the result. This quantity is the approximate oil consumption rate in kilometers per liter or in mile per quart. 5. |
