ENGINE OIL
Checking engine oil
Check the oil level a few minutes
(about 5) after the engine has
stopped, with the car parked on level
ground.
Remove the dipstick A and clean it,
put it back in completely, remove it
and check that the level is within the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
The interval between the MIN and
MAX marks corresponds to about one
litre of oil.
Topping up engine oil
If the oil level is near or even below
the MIN mark, add oil through the
filler neck B , until reaching the MAX
mark.
Oil level shall never exceed the MAX
mark.
IMPORTANT If a routine check re-
veals that the oil level is above the
MAX mark, contact Lancia Dealer-
ship to have the correct level restored.
IMPORTANT After adding or chang-
ing 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
Max 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 sta-
bilised after the first 5000 - 6000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption
depends on driving style and the con-
ditions under which the car is used.
