I have been advised by a manufacturer of engines that they do not publish an acceptable rate of oil consumption per hour because of varying load, etc.
We have one that may be consuming excess oil and it would be easy to say x number of quarts in x number of hours, etc. to decide on warranty but they want compression tests, bore scopes, etc. that will be difficult and time consuming especially since the method of repair will always be to just R&R engine assy. Maybe they are just trying to make it hard and just make the owner add oil and go away.
Is this the case across the industry or do some publish figures which exceeded will result in warranty acceptance?
