oil consumption may be higher than this when
the vehicle is new or if you frequently drive at
high engine speeds.

be installed at a different location.
When checking the oil level:

the engine should be switched off for
approximately five minutes if the engine is
at normal operating temperature.

temperature, e.g. if the engine was only
started briefly: wait about 30 minutes
before carrying out the measurement.
