Lubrication
On discovering an oil leak from the coupling gasket of the flywheel cover or from the oil filter,
- Check the system pressure with cold engine and medium-high running speed.
Proceed with replacement of the damaged
components.
NOTE: The standard pressures are obtained using oil of the recommended viscosity. A greater viscosity leads to an
increase in system pressure.
On discovering oil consumption greater than 250 gr/1000 km in a run in engine
Proceed with efficiency checks of the
unidirectional reed valve and the drainage hole of
the decanting chamber.
NO
Reset efficiency of the valve
or the drainage hole.
NOTE: Such an anomaly may occur also if the oil level is too high.
In this case the anomaly could be linked also to a malfunctioning of the fuel injection system due to
occlusion of the throttle body ducts (see chapter 9- FUEL INJECTION).
