Converting Engine Hours to Mileage (km)

 

Fore vehicles that spend a lot of time idling, use the following formula to aid in determining the equivalent mileage (kilometers) for vehicle maintenance. This formula applies to diesel as well as gasoline engines.

 

  1. Check and record the total engine hours on the DIC.
  2. Multiply this time by 33 miles or 53 km.
  3. The result should be close to the mileage on the odometer.

 

For example, if a vehicle has 626.9 engine hours and 7,269 miles (11,698 km) on the odometer, the engine run time would equal about 20,688 miles (33,226 km).

 

626.9 x 33 miles = 20,688

626.9 x 53 km = 33,226

 

This vehicle would be considered a vehicle that idles a lot, which may be useful information when diagnosing any issues.

70,000 miles, 1702.3 hours = 41.12 

If the motor is running the truck is moving except in the shop for work. Grrrrr. 

I drive under the speed limit 95% of the time. 5% is an ops!!

Unless you live in a part of the country where we often start the vehicle and let it run for 20 minutes to warm up and get the snow and ice off to drive 5 minutes.
