3. Document the inspection/test results in a TSARA TeileClearing Hotline case, describe in the case
what repair you are requesting, submit the case and wait for a response before continuing with
repairs.
If the vehicle passes the oil consumption test or the vehicle does not require any repairs, then do
not enter a TSARA TeileClearing Hotline case.
Calculating Oil Consumption by Milliliters
If the customer has driven much further than recommended, then the result of the test plan and the miles
driven can be determined using a calculator. The calculation below will determine the exact oil consumption
level of the engine.
Calculation:
Milliliters of oil consumed ÷ miles driven = X.XXX milliliters (ml) per mile driven
The oil consumption specification of this calculation is 1.333 milliliters (ml) per mile driven.
For example, 1000 ml ÷ 750 miles = 1.333 ml per mile; this is the 1 liter per 750 miles specification.
If the result of the calculation is 1.333 ml per mile and greater, then you must continue with the diagnosis
and address the customer complaint.
If the result of the calculation is less than or equal to 1.332 ml per mile, then the customers complaint does
not exceed the allowable engine oil consumption specification. Take no further action.
Example:
900 ml consumed ÷ 750 miles driven = 1.2 ml per mile – Take no further action and release the vehicle.
Engine Repairs and Replacements:
Replacement engine assemblies are NOT pre-filled with engine oil.
After replacing an engine with a new or remanufactured engine assembly, the engine oil level must be
verified as outlined in the procedure below first, before starting the engine for the first time.
If the replacement engine is started to determine electronically if the engine is filled with the appropriate
amount of engine oil, damage to the replacement engine can occur immediately.
The engine may have some residual engine oil from assembly, but this is not enough engine oil to properly
lubricate the engine to measure the engine oil level electronically when it is started for the first time.
Furthermore, the electronic engine oil measurement is only operational when the engine is running at its full
operating temperature. Checking the engine oil without the engine running at operating temperature will lead
to an incorrect or incomplete measurement.
After replacing the engine or making engine repairs that require the replacement or removal of the engine
bearings, VANOS gears, camshafts, bed plate resealing, engine oil pump, engine oil filter housing, cylinder
head, engine oil cooler or anything that interrupts the engine oil supply circuit of the engine requires a brief
oil pump and oil supply circuit priming procedure.

01 01 22_N63TU1 CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT SVC CAMPAIGN: OIL CONSUMPTION DIAGNOSIS/REPAIR

Refer to SI B11 02 20 for the detailed bleeding procedure.
The time to perform this procedure is included in the applicable special repair labor operations that
are provided in the attachments to this Service Information bulletin
After engine repairs or replacement, pay attention to a proper installation of all engine ground connections.
Mark the various ground connections with a small parts tag or colored tape. Any consequential damage to
DME, alternator, or QLT sensor resulting from a loose ground (causing BSD communication faults), is not
covered under N63TU1 Class Settlement.
If the engine malfunction warning is illuminated and lean mixture faults are stored in the DME:
1. Double check all basic induction system connections and ensure no leaks are present.
2. Adaptation Procedure:
Disconnect the tank ventilation valve (purge valve) electrical connector and allow the engine to idle
for 15 minutes. This procedure will allow the DME to readapt.
After 15 minutes of idling, reconnect the tank ventilation valve (purge valve) electrical connector
Clear the fault memory
Test drive the vehicle to ensure all faults do not reoccur
Workshop Cleanliness:
Always ensure the high-pressure fuel system parts are properly stored in a clean location. Use caps or bags
to keep contamination from occurring. It is good practice to immediately cap the high-pressure pumps and
store them in the upright position so that the plunger does not dry out.
The appropriate caps can be found in the N63TU1 Valve Seal Replacement Tool Kit P/N 83 30 2 450 434.

PARTS INFORMATION
Obtain and confirm the part numbers for your specific vehicle by entering the chassis number in either ETK
or AIR which considers specific equipment and/or options.
Based on the results from the inspections and testing, select the appropriate parts to repair the vehicle.
Engine replacement only if the measured oil consumption is too high and failing any one of the 4point checks.
The vehicle’s mileage to determine Customer’s Contribution will be based on the mileage the vehicle
had on the date the final 4-step diagnosis was completed.

B01 01 22 Attachment N63TU1 FAQ 3.0 Oil Consumption

1.16.2026

Aftermarket engine oil filters
An aftermarket engine oil filter accelerates the wear on the engine bearings before
showing signs of wear in the chain drive assemblies.
Contamination from the engine bearing material can damage the engine oil pump
and cause it to seize or cause engine oil pressure problems.
If you encounter this situation enter TSARA Hotline case with pictures of the filter. For
reference capture the photos of the filter top, bottom, and side with a proper BMW
engine oil filter for scale. See examples below.

If you have any questions or hints that you would like to see added to this FAQ
