Engine Oil Consumption

In Simple Terms

F1 engines must be extremely efficient with oil consumption, using no more than 0.30 liters per 100 kilometers during normal racing conditions. This rule ensures teams develop reliable, well-engineered power units while preventing excessive oil burn that would give unfair performance advantages.

• Maximum oil consumption limit is 0.30 liters per 100km
• Applies during normal operating conditions only
• Promotes engine reliability and efficient engineering
• Prevents teams from using oil burn as a performance advantage
