ENGINE OIL (fig.s 1, 2)
Check the oil level a few minutes
(approx. 5) after the engine has
stopped with the car parked on level
ground.
The oil level must be between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
The space between MIN and MAX
corresponds to approximately one
litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or even below
the MIN mark, pour in oil through
the filler hole until it reaches the MAX
mark.
The oil level must never exceed the
MAX mark.
IMPORTANT If following a regular
check the oil level is over the MAX
line, go to a LANCIA Dealership to
have the correct level restored.
IMPORTANT After adding or
changing the oil, let the engine turn
over for a few seconds and wait a few
minutes after turning it off before you
check the level.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
During the beginning of the car’s life
the engine is be tuned in. Engine oil
consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5,000 - 6,000
km.
IMPORTANT Oil consumption de-
pends on the driving style and the
conditions of use.
When the engine is hot,
operate very carefully in-
side the engine compart-
ment: danger of burns. Remember
that, when the engine is hot, the
electric fan could start operating:
danger of injuries.
Do not add oil with dif-
ferent specifications from
the oil already in the en-
gine.
Used engine oil and re-
placed oil filters contain
substances that can harm
the environment. We recommend
you have the car seen to at a LAN-
CIA Dealership for the oil and fil-
ter change. It is suitably equipped
for disposing of used oil and filters
in an environmentally-friendly
way that complies with the law.
