How much oil does the Pajero consume?
2 Answers
Pajero's minimum fuel consumption is 9.63L, and the maximum fuel consumption is 15.59L. Correct time to check oil consumption: After the engine is turned off, let it sit for 15 minutes before checking. If you need to check frequently, you can check before starting the vehicle in the morning, when the oil level is most accurate. Before checking the dipstick, make sure all four wheels are on the same level surface, with no tilting front, back, left, or right. Function of the dipstick: To measure the static height of the oil level. It can reflect whether the engine oil level is within a reasonable range. A conventional dipstick will have upper and lower limits to ensure the oil level is between them. The middle position is best.
After driving the Pajero for so many years, I believe oil consumption is a normal phenomenon, the key is whether it's reasonable. New engines have good sealing, typically consuming between 0.1 to 0.3 liters per thousand kilometers; but for older cars, say over ten years, it may rise to 0.5 liters per thousand kilometers or even higher, often due to aging piston rings or oil seal leaks. I recommend checking the dipstick monthly to ensure the oil level is between min and max. Driving habits also matter – more mountain or highway driving can increase consumption. Using full synthetic oil can reduce loss, and timely oil changes during maintenance are crucial. In short, exceeding 0.5 liters warrants attention; prompt repairs can prevent major engine issues and save on future costs.
