Lube oil consumption depends on engine design and motor operating conditions. Dieselnet is a good source.
Typical oil consumption values for pre-1980s engines were 0.46 g/kWh (0.34 g/bhp-hr; 0.25% of fuel consumption), pre-1990 engines ranged between 0.33-0.48 g/kWh (~0.15 - 0.20% of fuel consumption).
A test on a number of 2002 heavy-duty and medium-duty engines in the US yielded an average of 0.22 g/kWh (0.1% of fuel consumption).
Year 2007 heavy- and medium-duty engines consume on average 0.08 g/kWh (around 0.03% of fuel consumption)

Where did Rudolf Diesel invent the Diesel Engine?
Augsburg, Germany The engine was known as a compression ignition engine also known as a heavy oil engine,this was actually designed by Herbert akroyd Stuart not Rudolf Diesel although this type of engine was named after Rudolf Diesel.
What will happen if you accidentally use oil for diesel in a petrol engine?
You should immediately drain it out. Diesel oil normally has a higher weight than oil made for gasoline engines. Therefore you may have a lack of lubrication, especially at startup. This can cause premature engine wear.
Heat engine utilizes low heat value of fuel or high heat value of fuel?
Heat engine utilizes low heat value of oil and also the fuel oil consumption for IC engine usually based on high heat value of oilby Shyam
Why was the diesel engine invented?
Rudolf Diesel invented the 'Diesel' engine and they were originally used as more efficient replacements for stationary steam engines. The diesel engine allowed trains and ships to operate more efficiently with oil instead of coal. In 1892 a German engineer Rudolf Diesel patented the engine that bears his name, an internal combustion engine that doesn't require a spark to ignite the fuel-air mixture. In 1913 he vanished overboard from a steamer bound for London; his body washed up ten days later. Some believe he committed suicide and cite his neurotic personality and numerous breakdowns, and some believe he was murdered by either Germans (who resented his lack of nationalism) or by coal industrialists (who resented his engine). The first successful commercial diesel engine was built in the United States, thanks to the financial backing of Adolphus Busch, famous brewer of Budweiser.
What is the meaning of a hydraulic oil 68 and hydraulic oil 46?
Engine oil No. 46 how does this relates to the engine oil type xxWxx?
How do you calculate lubricating oil consumption for a diesel engine?
The consumption of lubricating oil for a diesel engine depends on the operating conditions and the design of the engine. There are some averages depending on the year of the engine. Pre 1980's engine are around 25% of fuel consumption. Pre 1990 engines are around 20% of fuel consumption and more recently built diesel engines are around 1% of fuel consumption.
Can you use gas engine oil in a diesel engine?
No you can not use gas engine oil in diesel engine oil because processing of diesel engine is different from gas engine oil. If you use this then it damage your vehicles.
Can you use diesel oil in gasoline engine?
NO, do not use diesel oil and a gasoline engine.
Why oil gauge is needed in a diesel engine?
Oil is just as important to a diesel engine as it is to a petrol engine
What is diesel oil?
"Diesel oil" or "Heavy oil" is another term for diesel fuel. Not to be confused with "engine oil for a diesel engine" which means lubricating oil specially formulated for use in diesel rather than petrol engines.
Why does loss of lube oil occur?
when the gasket between the engine block and crankcase is old , there is a possibility some lube oil to leak and reduce the level. Temperature in the engine cause metal friction can evaporate some lube oil indeed.
How many liters of engine oil does a Mitsubishi 4D56 diesel engine should have?
5 liters of diesel engine oil.
Internal-combustion engine lubriacation parts and their function?
Lube oil cooler function:for cooling of lube oil through by sea water. Lube oil Filter function: through filtration lube oil separated/prevent from viscosity. Lube oil Purifier function: purifies lube oil Lubricator function: Lubricate all running that
How many calories in 1 liter Diesel oil?
There are not any calories in diesel fuel oil. Diesel fuel oil should not be consumed by humans or animals. Consumption of the fuel oil can be fatal.
What engine oil do you need for a 306 diesel?
any diesel oil will be fine
What is the major difference between a petrol car and a diesel one?
The primary difference between a petrol car and diesel car is the consumption rate - diesel and petrol are refined from mineral oil using differing methods. The result is diesel engines having a lower fuel consumption rate than their petrol counterparts when installed in a vehicle of similar mass. CO2 emissions are also lower in a diesel engine than they are in a petrol engine.
What is the oil consumption of a 3406 cat diesel generator?
A 3406 Caterpillar diesel generator should not present any oil consumption. The generator could consume one quart of oil per 100 hours and not be considered unusual.
