Thread: Oil consumption in D4

Its a sucker hose connection. That is where you connect the hose that sucks the oil from the engine out (Used for Jaguars as they done have drain plugs-yes its true, same engine different sump!)

Not sure if the quantities have changed but assume they have? but used to be 200mL per notch. It is also true to have the level at one notch down (as this is now how we prepare every new vehicle) but 99% of vehicles now turn up full.

I wouldn't stress too much over it. It is a NEW engine wearing itself in, there is bound to be some engine oil use.

Cheers mate I didn't open it just saw it there and guessed it could be a dipstick but after my wife got home I checked it out.

That's what I do with all my cars from new give them a good hard run in no towing, but your right make them work and yeah none of mine have used any oil as I said even after 10000kms not a drop used

Had to top up my D3 early on and then never again. My D4 2.7 hasn't need a topup at all now at 98000k.
