AND CARE
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after turn-
ing it off before checking oil level.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil con-
sumption can only be considered stabilised
after the first 5000 – 6000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-
pends on driving style and the car usage
conditions.
ENGINE OIL – fig. 5-6-7-8
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
five) after the engine has stopped, with the
car parked on level ground. The oil level
should be between the
MIN
and
MAX
marks on the dipstick
B
.
The range between the
MIN
and
MAX
levels corresponds to approximately
1 litre of oil. If the oil level is near or even
under the
MIN
mark, add oil through the
filler
A
to reach the
MAX
mark. The oil
level should never exceed
MAX
.
Topping up the engine oil
If the oil level is near or even under the
MIN
mark, add oil through the filler
B
to
reach the
MAX
mark.
The oil level should never exceed
MAX
.
IMPORTANT If the engine oil level, after
a routine check, is over the
MAX
mark,
go to a Fiat Dealership to have the cor-
rect level restored.
