Stryker oil level revisited.
Page 3 of PS 619 0un 04) said the Stryker's engine burns about 3 drops of oil from the vehicle's on board oil exchanger (OBOE) per hour of operation. That's wrong. The engine actually burns about 1 liter liter, abbr. l, unit of volume in the metric system, defined since 1964 as equal to 0.001 cubic meters, or 1 cubic decimeter. A cube that has each of its edges equal to 10 centimeters has a volume of 1 liter. The liter is equal to 1.057 liquid quarts, 0. of oil every 10 hours of operation. At that rate, the OBOE will go dry after 60 hours if not refilled. Make sure you carry at least 1 quart of oil with you at all times.
