Similarly to most of the field, second-year driver Dillmann only had one flying lap in the second part of the session.
The Frenchman was one of three drivers to dip below the two-minute mark, and his 1m59.745s time was just enough to top the order.
Lotus' Roy Nissany fell only 0.016s short with third-placed Aurelien Panis also being less then a tenth slower.
SMP Racing driver Matthieu Vaxiviere ended up fourth, narrowly edging out Vitor Baptista and Louis Deletraz for the spot.
Alfonso Celis, despite leading the way before the mid-session pit stops, ended up only seventh, followed by Rene Binder, Matevos Isaakyan and Pietro Fittipaldi.
