Engine oil consumption
Max engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams every
1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs to run in,
therefore the engine oil consumption can only be
considered stabilised after the first 5000 - 6000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on driving
style and the conditions under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT Do not add oil with specifications other
than that already in the engine.
