Post subject:  Quick Leyland Quiz
I'm still sorting through my archives (switched from brochures to bulletins for a change of pace , brochures are painful and there's still 50 or so to go :roll: ) and found an interesting Service Letter ....

According to a service letter in April 1981 , what oil consumption did Leyland consider the upper end of normal for a 1275 Moke , they gave a figure per XXXX klm's for freeway conditions and a figure per XXXX Mixed driving conditions using 20W/50 oil .

Basically I'm talking the figures that would have to be exceded before they would even consider looking at it for warranty

No prize for getting it right , just a laugh basically . A scan of the relevent part of the service letter will be posted later tonight .

Back in 1964 BMC reckoned 1 pint (~600ml) per 400 miles was normal for a 1098... :lol: :shock:

1 L/2000kms freeway....maybe...

For a mini I'd say less, but since it's a Moke, an 'Ag' vehicle, it goes through more. :roll: :lol:

I'd say they are NOT wanting to to accept a warranty claim so make it ridiculous

Say 1 litre per 500Km highway and 1 litre per 100km mixed

They use more oil at higher revs, so 1litre per 1000kms hwy use & 500ml per 1000kms mixed round town use

:-)

Go on , Whack up the service letter, we got the same one years ago & i remember having a laugh about it then, still a good laugh now tho too :-)

Well , like I said , some were close , some weren't ....

Basically they say a new motor is allowed to use 1 ml of oil per klm in mixed driving and 1 1/2 ml of oil per klm at freeway speeds :shock: :roll: :lol:

I wonder if you could quote this to get an oil burner past a rego inspection :?

Maybe it was par for the times, but it's no wonder Leyland went belly up really...

Well, last year we drove Barney (1293A+ Moke motor) 2000Kms around Tassie, all told he only used about 500mL of 20W/50 Fuchs oilz.
Motor has done around 10,000 miles since rebuild I think.
I guess pistons and rings these days must be better than back then. 8)

You only gave half the answer Doogie , you didn't say how many klm that was for so you only get half a point .


I'm just wondering , if it's acceptible for Leyland for a 1275 moke to use 1 1/2 ml of oil per klm , and a Clubman (can't find a Moke Californian off hand) was rated as using 7 litres per 100 klm . That means it uses 1 1/2 ml of oil to 70 ml of petrol per klm which relates as 46.666 (repeat , can't find the repeat symbol):1 (fuel:oil ratio) which isn't far off what a 2 stroke chain saw or garden trimmer's ratio :shock: I knew Mokes were commercial but I didn't think they were 2 stroke :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

You watch , my Moke won't start next time I try because of that :roll:
