Oil Consumption Test
- Check the oil level at least 5 minutes after a hot shutdown with the vehicle on a level surface.
- If the oil level is low, top off with the proper viscosity and API service level engine oil. Add one bottle of Mopar® 4-In-1 Leak Detection Dye into the engine oil.
- Tamper proof the oil pan drain plug, oil filter, dipstick and oil fill cap with a black light marking device (pen) or air conditioning dye applied with a small brush.NOTE:
The use of a black light marking device is recommended so the marks can only be seen with a ultraviolet light.
- Record the vehicle mileage. Note that the oil level at 'full' mark 5 minutes after hot shut-down and date.
- Instruct the customer to drive the vehicle as usual.
- Ask the customer to return to the servicing dealer after accumulating 500 miles, Check the oil level at least 5 minutes after a hot shutdown on a level surface. If the oil level is half way between the "FULL" and "ADD" mark or below, continue with the next step.
- Using a black light, check for any external engine oil leaks, repair as necessary, if no external engine oil leaks are present, continue with oil consumption diagnosis.
