N63TU1 ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION CHECKLIST (Attachment to B01 01 22)
Date:
Record the results of the vehicle’s engine inspection
and measurements below.
Dealer Number:
VIN (7)
RO number
Engine Serial Number
Concern is “engine oil consumption.”
1.
May 2023
Use this checklist for “oil consumption” complaints
only.
Perform the Oil Consumption Test (Part 2) after setup (Part 1)
Was an engine oil consumption (OC) test (Part 1, Setup) and measured (Part 2, Completed)? YES or NO
If YES, what was the level of engine oil consumption? __________________________
Did the vehicle’s engine exceed the oil consumption specification? If YES (Proceed to Step 2)
If NO, further diagnosis is NOT required (Claim for Part 2 for OC test only)
Inspection and Results: Only provide the answers to the applicable questions in steps 2 through 8, unless otherwise
directed.
2.
Is the front engine cover leaking?
YES or NO
3.
Is the upper or lower oil pan leaking?
YES or NO
4.
Is the engine oil leaking from the lower bell housing area?
YES or NO
5.
Only if 2, 3 and/or 4 are answered with “YES,” then use the
borescope: Is the oil return cover and/or oil return line gaskets
leaking (10) oil? Provide a photo in the case using the borescope
regardless if it is found wet or dry.
YES or NO
6.
Are the turbochargers leaking engine oil?
YES or NO
7.
Was a cylinder compression test performed?
YES or NO
If YES, do not replace the engine for oil
leakage, proceed to step 6.
Note: The cylinder compression test should be performed after the engine has reached operating temperature.
When performing this test, count the rotations of the engine crankshaft and apply the same rotations to each
additional cylinder of the compression test. The industry standard is four (4) rotations per cylinder.
8.
Test Plan Compression Test Results:
Did the cylinders exceed the specification?
YES or NO
When comparing the values of all cylinders, the compression results should not vary by more than 2.5 bar or
36.25 PSI. If the difference is greater than 2.5 bar or 36.25 PSI, then the complete engine will need to be replaced.
1.
5.
If the test plan was not used, then document the compression test results by cylinder in the table below
2.

8.
Vehicles that FAIL the oil consumption test: Take a photo of only page 1 and submit a case with the other required pictures for
authorization to the TSARA TeileClearing Hotline and wait for a response. Weekend and holiday submissions must wait for a response
on the following business day before starting any repairs.
Vehicles that PASS the oil consumption test: Do not require any engine repairs and do not need a TSARA TeileClearing
authorization.
Retain copy of this checklist (both pages) in the vehicle file. Provide copy of page 2 to your warranty booker/administrator for
claims processing.
