What is the engine oil consumption ?

The volatility of motor oil is normal and common. In the laboratory it is checked with the Noack test. Therefore it is very important to periodically check the oil level between services and, if required, – to add oil. In order to meet all the requirements of quality the high-class oil volatility should be ≤...

Каков расход моторного масла?

Испаряемость моторного масла – нормальное и обычное явление. В лабораторных условиях она проверяется проведением теста Noack. Поэтому очень важно периодически проверять уровень масла в картере между заменами и, если требуется, – доливать масло. Для того, чтобы масло высочайшего класса соответствовало всем требованиям качества, его испаряемость должна быть ≤ 13% (тест Noack). Но более простым способом...
